The BJP chief welcomed Bedi to the party and said she would
strengthen its Delhi unit. "I extend my heartiest wishes to Kiran Bediji
for joining the BJP. Her presence will strengthen our Delhi unit. She
will definitely contest from the BJP's side, but it is the prerogative
of the parliamentary board to decide who will be CM candidate.
Though no announcement has been made on the seat that Bedi will
contest, rumour mills are abuzz that she may be pitted against Aam Aadmi
Partys Arvind Kejriwal as BJPs candidate for the top job.
