Old tweets by BJP newbies Bedi, Ilmi against Modi resurface

January 16, 2015 20:59

The Aam Aadmi Party has launched a Twitter war against Kiran Bedi and Shazia Ilmi, who have joined the BJP by pulling out old tweets of the two.

In a subtle attack on Ilmi on Wednesday, AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal retweeted one of her old tweets, dated November 21, 2013, which said 'Hypocrisy, thy name is BJP'. The tweet by Ilmi, who was in AAP at the time, criticises the BJP and the Congress over its funding.

Founder AAP member Kumar Vishwas posted more than half-a-dozen old Kiran Bedi tweets in which she gave her views on the Congress, the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"One day, Namo (Narendra Modi) will have to respond with clarity about riot massacre," said another tweet posted by Bedi on March 16, 2013.
