BJP fielded Bedi as CM as party is scared of Kejriwal: Vishwas

January 21, 2015 23:54

AAP leader Kumar Vishwas today took a dig at the BJP's decision to field Kiran Bedi as its chief ministerial candidate, claiming that the rival party took the decision as it was 'scared' of its leader Arvind Kejriwal.

Vishwas while addressing an election rally at Rajouri Garden here also said that party had "sidelined" all its old candidates and chosen an old member of their (AAP's) family.

"The entire BJP national cadre does not have one face even after a year. Keeping aside all the leaders who have been associated with the party from the past 40 years, they have taken our elder sister (Bedi) in the fight," Vishwas said.

Raking up the issue of 'internal rift' within the BJP over Bedi, Vishwas claimed that the BJP leaders were 'disappointed' on the selection of Bedi as the CM candidate.

He further said that the party is 'scared' of Kejriwal which is why the CM candidate was declared days before the results have been declared.
