Former IPS officer and Anna Hazare’s key aide Kiran Bedi on late Thursday openly raised her voice in support of Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
Bedi posted on the micro-blogging site Twitter – “For me it’s India First! Stable,Well Governed, Administered, Accountable and Inclusive. As an independent voter, my vote is for NaMo.”
Earlier also Bedi had backed the Gujarat chief minister and had said, “The man is delivering and has brought good development in Gujarat. His nomination (as BJP’s PM candidate) brings more clarity among voters to make their choices,” while delivering a speech in Ahmedabad last year.
Apart from Bedi, singing legend Lata Mangeshkar had also confirmed that her vote for the 2014 General Elections will go for the Modi. The support has come at a point of time when it is likely that ex-Army Chief General VK Singh may join BJP.
Further, in a veiled attack on Aam Aadmi Party, she said, “for country’s stability, experienced hands” are required.
Bedi also demanded that apart from the anti-corruption helpline, the Delhi Assembly must debate the Lokayukta report that “indicts” former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit.
