Congress takes swipe at BJP over rift following Kiran Bedi's anointment

Congress sought to rub salt in the wounds of BJP leaders reportedly sulking over Kiran Bedi's anointment as the party's chief ministerial candidate for the February 7 Assembly polls in Delhi and denial of tickets to party faithfuls.

On micro-blogging site Twitter, Senior Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi said:

Hope fierce fracas' in bjp re Bedi hs not injured veterans Upadhaya, Mukhi & bidhuri. Be patient u deprived superseded souls!

Protest over ticket distribution continued in the BJP camp on Wednesday, though the party said there is "no crisis" and its cadres stand united to face the coming Delhi Assembly polls.

In another tweet, Singhvi took a dig at BJP over inducting defectors into the party fold. "BJP talks against infiltrators and defectors at our borders but welcomes their political species into the party!" he said.

BJP has recently inducted into the party fold former AAP leader Vinod Kumar Binny and Shazia Ilmi, and former Union minister belonging to Congress Krishna Tirath in Delhi.
