New Delhi: A day after dropping hints of joining politics, former IPS officer and Team Anna member Kiran Bedi on Wednesday said she was ready to become the BJP’s Chief Ministerial nominee in Delhi if such an offer was made to her.
The former IPS officer was asked if she would become the BJP’s Chief Ministerial candidate in case of fresh elections in Delhi. The BJP had projected Harsh Vardhan as the party’s Chief Ministerial candidate in the Assembly polls in December last year.
Vardhan has won the Lok Sabha election from Chandni Chowk and there is speculation that Bedi may be considered the BJP’s Chief Ministerial candidate in the next assembly polls. Bedi, who has been heaping praise on Narendra Modi in the past couple of months, yesterday dropped hints of joining politics.
Bedi, who was part of core team of Anna Hazare during his agitation for a strong Lokpal legislation, has openly been hailing Modi’s leadership saying he could lead the country effectively. The country seems to be in post-Independence euphoria once again. One of hope, joy, anticipation, anxiety, revival, ethics, merit, gratitude, she said on Twitter.
On Monday, expelled AAP MLA Vinod Kumar Binny had called upon BJP, AAP and Congress leaders to consider Bedi for the post of Delhi chief minister, saying holding fresh Assembly elections would be wastage of public money.
