``I will fight the Assembly elections from Delhi. But there is no question of severing my links with national politics.,'' she said. At a `Face the Media' session at the Press Club today, Swaraj said she had fulfilled the constitutional obligation by resigning from the Union cabinet, and ``any other step is unnecessary at the moment.'' This was by way of denying that she was trying to keep her options open. Swaraj seemed too emphatic on the point that by projecting her as the chief ministerial candidate, the BJP had not broken away from the its earlier tradition: ``Atal Behari Vajpayee was also projected as the future Prime Minister,'' she said. Almost to prop up her argument that her case was no exception, she announced that the names of chief ministerial candidates for all thestates going to polls on November 25 are also going to be announced by the BJP national executive committee.

The BJP high-command had reviewed an earlier decision not to project any chief ministerial candidates. ``The national executive will meet tomorrow and formally announce the names of chief ministerial candidates in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh,'' Swaraj said.
