Delhi election: Kiran Bedi moves poll panel against Kejriwal's bribe remarks
The BJP's CM candidate in Delhi, Kiran Bedi, on Tuesday moved the Election Commission again on rival Arvind Kejriwal's bribe-for-votes remarks as well as his residence issue.
Despite Election Commission's warning to refrain from making such remarks, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal on Monday once again exhorted Delhiites to accept bribes from BJP and Congress but vote for his party.
Demanding rejection of the Aam Aadmi Party leader's nomination papers, Bedi also protested against her photos used by the AAP on its campaign posters in poll-bound Delhi, which will vote on February 7.
"My remark has been taken out of context," Kejriwal said. At an election rally earlier this month, he had asked voters to accept money from the BJP and the Congress, but vote for the AAP.
On Monday, a row had erupted over Kiran Bedi being invited to the Republic Day parade where US President Barack Obama was the chief guest. The AAP had questioned the provisions under which she was invited and had slammed the Narendra Modi government for not extending the same courtesy to former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal.
The AAP has also accused the BJP of politicising Obama's visit to India ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections and has complained to the poll panel about it.
"Today, Obama has come and all of India is flying. Modi has done so much. Obama would not just have come like that," Bedi said at an election meeting in Delhi on Tuesday.
