K..K..KIRAN IS HERE

KIRAN BEDI JOINS BJP

Delhi poll battle seems to be heading for an interesting finish. I had predicted in previous write-ups that only Kiran Bedi can take on Kejriwal on equal terms. Finally, here she is in the Capital war.

An IPS officer of imminence, Kiran is a no-nonsense officer. She is a thorough professional, go getter and strictly disciplinarian. Her only minus point is she is too assertive and she doesn’t understand nuances of party politics. Her introductory speech at the Delhi party headquarters was proof enough to suggest that she stood for systematic change, no matter what happens.

When BJP is taking on crusader like Arvind Kejriwal, who is not a traditional politician by training, battle strategy would have to be different.

BJP needed somebody, who had an impeccable career record, who would go out of the way to get things done. Kiran Bedi was the right choice.

Is Kiran a rank outsider?

Questions are being raised that Kiran doesn’t have support of different groups. But if you see, BJP workers have no qualms in accepting a rank outsider, who can take BJP to the wars with the promise that she would wage a war and win it.

 BJP was no getting any headway in the absence of a formidable challenger. Their internal poll surveys were falling short of expectations.

For BJP workers, party is supreme, it is not important what Vijay Goel says, what Dr Harshvardhan Says and how Jagdish Mukhi feels after Kiran Bedi’s induction in the saffron brigade. BJP workers needed a face.

As Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah have trust in Kiran Bedi, opposition from within Delhi BJP leaders won’t matter anymore, murmurs won’t last long.

Is she an opportunist?

After Narendra Modi became PM, Kiran Bedi offered herself to be part of the political system, though she was averse to the idea of joining BJP and running for the post of Delhi CM.

Now it appears that her aversion for politics was only symbolic and momentary as she was waiting for right moment to strike.

She had refused to contest against Kejriwal in last elections.  In no way, it was not sudden change of heart?  Move was premeditated.

She was once part of India Against Corruption (IAC) and after its split she was the one who opposed Kejriwal for setting up a political party.

Is she an opportunist? Who uses whom? Those who know her admit that it is highly unlikely that Kiran Bedi will change beyond a limit. It is not possible that BJP will use and throw her.

Who brought Kiran to BJP?

Lot of fuss is made about who brought her to BJP? Who projected her as CM candidate of the party? RSS is also reported to be peeved at the thought that what was the need to project her as CM so early?

We all know, Kiran Bedi was in touch with PM Modi and Amit Shah. Arun Jaitley was trying to convince her, report is that some Delhi based Akali leader was also pursuing her to join BJP.

Now RSS is also trying to water down the issue saying that Kiran Bedi is a leader of impeccable credential. Sangh is also left with no choice to back her.

 Kiran is brave, Kiran is formidable and Kiran likes to lead from the front.  What is more important is Delhi knows Kiran Bedi more than Kiran Knows Delhi.
