Will not contest elections again: Kiran Bedi

May 10, 2015 20:14

Former IPS officer Kiran Bedi, who was BJP's chief ministerial candidate for Delhi Assembly polls held earlier this year, today said that she will not contest elections again.

"I am not inclined towards active politics but I am certainly inclined for active public service which I am back into. I am not an active politician because politics is not my language. I will not contest elections again," Bedi told PTI when questioned about her life after Delhi polls.

She was here to participate in the ongoing 'Women Economic Forum'.

"My life is much more richer, much experienced and much knowledgeable and much more insightful. Now I have insight into certain things which I never had," she added.

Bedi termed experience of Delhi elections as "finest experience of her life."
