Former IPS officer and originally part of India Against Corruption movement, Kiran Bedi has joined BJP. She joined BJP in presence of party chief Amit Shah and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. Amit Shah said that party will be strengthened by the inclusion of former top cop Kiran Bedi.
Shah welcomed Bedi into his party and announced that she would contest the Delhi Assembly polls.
“Kiran Bedi has joined the BJP. I welcome her. Her joining the party will strengthen the Delhi BJP. For fulfilling the aspirations of Delhi's voters, we get a colleague. Her positive contribution will help the BJP. She will contest the elections,” he said.
Shah, however, downplayed media queries whether she would be the BJP’s chief ministerial candidate in Delhi. “Every BJP worker aspires to and is capable of becoming the chief minister. A decision in this regard would be taken by the BJP parliamentary board,” he said.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said that Kiran Bedi has served society for a very long time and now she will do it by joining politics. Amit Shah confirmed that Kiran Bedi will contest elections, though he refused to clarify on her seat. Amit Shah was ambivalent about chances of Kiran Bedi becoming the CM of Delhi saying final decision will be taken by Parliamentary Board of BJP.
Kiran Bedi said that she is extremely grateful to PM Narendra Modi for giving true leadership. Shortly before addressing the PC, Kiran Bedi met PM. Bedi said that for 40 years she has been in private life. But she has been greatly influenced by Modi's inspirational leadership since May.
