The BJP’s chief ministerial nominee Kiran Bedi, who was provided Y-plus security ahead of the Delhi Assembly polls, on Tuesday returned her security cover after facing a shocking defeat at the hands of the AAP.
Ms. Bedi who had earlier in the day offered her apologies for not being able to live up to the expectations of the BJP, stepped out of her house in the evening for a short while to speak to one of the personnel deputed for her security.
She was accorded Y-plus security after being announced as the BJP’s CM candidate.
The 65-year-old former cop, who chose to remain quiet after having kept her side of the story as soon as her defeat was formally announced from the once BJP stronghold, Krishna Nagar constituency, asked the security personnel not to come from tomorrow.
“Don’t come from tomorrow, I would not be needing any security . Thank you, you should leave now,” Ms. Bedi told one of the security men.
Condemnation
The decision to give Ms. Bedi Y-plus security was taken after lawyers in the Capital condemned the BJP’s decision to nominate her as its chief ministerial candidate for the Delhi Assembly polls. — PTI
