BJP CM candidate Kiran Bedi on Saturday filed a police complaint against Aam Aadmi Party leader Kumar Vishwas for allegedly making a ‘sexist’ remark against her at a rally three days ago.
Confirming the development, a senior police officer said they received a complaint from the BJP against Mr. Vishwas ‘for using objectionable language against Ms. Bedi at a rally”.
The AAP leader, however, strongly denied the allegations that he made remarks against Ms. Bedi and said he will quit politics if she can prove it.
A delegation of BJP leaders also met Chief Election Commissioner H.S. Brahma on Saturday and registered a complaint.
After filing the complaint, Ms. Bedi in a series of tweets said: “What kind of security and dignity can women expect from AAP’s leadership that itself has blatant sexist and perverse mindsets?”
Mr. Vishwas who has been targeting Ms. Bedi ever since she joined the BJP challenged the party leaders to prove if his alleged remark, delivered during a jan sabha in Mundka on Wednesday, was against Ms. Bedi.
He also retweeted a video of the jan sabha to prove his case. In the video he is heard saying that the BJP has two issues with AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal. “Two problems BJP has with Arvind Kejriwal. One is that he wears a muffler… has he snatched from you and worn? The other one they say he coughs a lot… what is your problem? Do you have to sleep with him in his bedroom or what?”
