Kejriwal challenges Kiran Bedi to public debate

The AAP leader said, “It will be a good initiative for democracy if there is a debate between us on different issues.People vote in the name of religion and caste...they are not aware of issues. The debate, around 1-2 hours long should be on concrete issues.”

The former Delhi Chief Minister also requested Ms. Bedi to “unblock” him in on



microblogging site twitter.

Terming Mr. Kejriwal’s twitter account as a “polluting” one, Ms. Bedi hit back saying that she had blocked him more than a year ago as he was “spreading negativity“. “I blocked him 15 months back when he called himself an anarchist. He was spreading negativity. Didn’t want my four million followers to see negativity... it was a polluting account,” Ms. Bedi, who was on Monday night named the chief ministerial candidate for the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections, said.

Ms. Bedi, the country’s first woman IPS officer, was named the BJP’s chief ministerial by party president Amit Shah after a meeting of the BJP’s Parliamentary Board.
