Former IPS officer Kiran Bedi on Monday indicated her priorities by stating that the need of the hour is to get the more corrupt out, work with the less corrupt and then think of a third force, which could be Arvind Kejriwal's 'anti-corruption movement'.

Kiran Bedi was trying her best to justify why she was distancing herself from Kejriwal.  While she ''respected'' Kejriwal's decision, she said that she was not a part of the political outfit.

"It's exactly like Anna. Anna is not a part of the political outfit," she added. 

Bedi said the country desperately needs the Jan Lokpal Bill and the Right to Reject.

"The movement started with the focus of getting the Jan Lokpal Bill, then Anna added the Right to Reject. The country desperately needs an independent Jan Lokpal Bill, which sets the CBI free of any political management.

"And this country needs the Right to Reject, the most, because between two political parties who may be both perceived to be corrupt, whom you elect, you need to reject candidates. Unless you reject, there will be no space for a third component," said Bedi.
