BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Friday said former Army chief Gen V K Singh and Anna Hazare's aide Kiran Bedi should be invited to join the party, a day after the former IPS officer endorsed party's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.

"We should invite Kiran Bedi & Gen Singh to join BJP,' Swamy tweeted. Bedi, who had on Thursday endorsed the BJP's prime ministerial candidate, on Friday again praised Modi.

"I am looking for somebody, who could lead this country or a party, which can provide stability. My support to Modi is for strong united and stable government,' she said.

She also sought to dispel the view that the agitation of India Against Corruption was against both Congress and BJP saying, "No, it was not against BJP. This is a wrong impression. It was only against the scams of the Congress. BJP was not in the government.
