In 2014, 150 candidates contested the Lok Sabha polls from the national capital, of which 13 were women.
Her predecessor Ajay Maken will contest as the Congress candidate from New Delhi.
The grand old party has fielded JP Agarwal from the Chandni Chowk seat, Arvinder Singh Lovely from East Delhi, former Union minister Ajay Maken from New Delhi constituency, Rajeshh Lilothia from North West Delhi and Mahabal Mishra from West Delhi.
Kejriwal further lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said the Central government did everything it can to stop our work.
Hitting back, Dikshit, a three-time chief minister of Delhi, told reporters, "He (Kejriwal) has not spoken to us. He does not know what he is saying. The Aam Aadmi Party has reached the stage of frustration."
Lok Sabha polls are scheduled to take place in the months of April-May.
Delhi Congress chief Sheila Dikshit slammed the Interim Budget presented on Friday as "high on rhetoric, low on content" and disappointing.
Asked about people linking his name to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, Tytler replied, "It doesn't matter what people say. There is no case. Court has already given its verdict and the Supreme Court has given me a clean chit."
Dikshit, 80, was appointed to the post by the party's national president Rahul Gandhi after Ajay Maken stepped down citing health troubles.

The decision was announced by Ajay Maken, who had resigned earlier this month as the Chief of Congress party in Delhi, just months before the upcoming 2019 Lok Sabha polls citing health reasons.
Lok Sabha elections 2019: "I'm sorry to say but AAP government's performance in Delhi has been very disappointing," says Sheila Dikshit.
Dikshit also accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of protesting to hide their failures on real issues.
After the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) raised the pitch for full statehood for Delhi, Dikshit told the media here that Delhi will continue to be partly governed by the Centre unless the Constitution was changed.
Lovely today rejoined the Congress, months after he quit to join the BJP, where he said he was an "ideological misfit".
On the third anniversary of the Delhi government, Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken also released a 'charge sheet' on the government's three years of rule at the DPCC office here.
