Kiran Bedi Skips IAC Protest Rally


New Delhi, Aug 27 (IANS): Former woman top cop and a key member of the disbanded Team Anna group, Kiran Bedi, did not participate in Sunday's anti-corruption protest rally by India Against Corruption (IAC) as she was not in favour of protesting against the BJP.

Asked the reason for Bedi's absence, IAC head Arvind Kejriwal told reporters: "On this issue she (Bedi) probably feels that the BJP can give the country a good government. But the BJP can't."

The IAC members, including Kejriwal and Prashant Bhushan, had organized a 'gherao' or surrounding the houses of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Nitin Gadkari to protest corruption.

Kejriwal had maintained on Saturday that Bedi was "completely" with them though they had different view points on including the BJP in their target against corruption.

Bedi had tweeted on Saturday that while she "fully supports" Kejriwal's protest call, she felt that they should focus on the party in power.

    HOW KEJRIWAL CAN SAY BEDI IS WITH THEM HEN SHE WAS NOT WITH THEM AND SHE WAS SUPPORTING BJP EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE CORRUPT. THERE IS NO UNITY IN ANNA'S TEAM AND FROM THIS WE CAN MAKE OUT WHAT CORRUPTION THEY WILL REMOVE. EACH PERSON IN ANNA'S TEAM HAS THEIR OWN VIEWS. KIRAN BEDI LOST HER IMAGE BY SUPPORTING BJP IN THIS REGARD KNOWING WHAT ALL HAPPEND IN KARNATAKA BJP GOVERNMENT. NOW TO SEE BEDI ALSO IS NOT A CLEAN PERSON AND SUPPORTING A CORRUPT PARTY LIKE BJP. SO KEJRIWALA SHOULD NOT THINK PUBLIC ARE FOOLDS BY SAYING KIRAN BEDI IS WITH THEM. SHAME ON THIS CROOK KEJRIWAL.
