Kiran Bedi sees compulsions of ‘vote politics’ in Arvind Kejriwal stand on BJP -Abantika Ghosh

The aggression of India Against Corruption (IAC) towards the BJP, which was always a “Lokpal ally”, could be linked to compulsions of electoral politics, Kiran Bedi has said.

Pointing out that senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley had shared stage with the IAC during Anna Hazare’s Jantar Mantar fast last December, Bedi told The Indian Express that the organisation’s attacks on the BJP may be linked to its transformation “from a political movement to a political formation” and its pursuit of votes.

Bedi has made her differences over the matter clear, staying away from the protest called by Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday that targeted both the UPA government and BJP.

“I do not know if he (Kejriwal) is doing that (vote bank politics). All I know is that this is what happens when you are trying to appear more neutral than the others. Electoral politics can take you towards competitive politics alongside espousing causes,” Bedi said.

One of the key members of the erstwhile Team Anna — now disbanded by Hazare, who has expressed reservations over the IAC’s decision to enter politics — Bedi said they had found BJP most supportive during their Lokpal campaign.

“When we went to meet political parties after the joint drafting committee (was formed on the Lokpall Bill), the BJP and Left were by far the most receptive. I am still wondering how and when they deserved to be bracketed with the party in power,” she said.

In her statement on Sunday, Bedi had named L K Advani, Sushma Swaraj and Nitin Gadkari apart from Jaitley as being among the leaders amenable to the IAC’s point of view on Lokpal. On Monday she tweeted: “Instead of bracketing all in Coalgate, demonstration of yester(day) should have been for PM’s resignation! He has breached trust national trust!”
