Reaching out to Muslims, BJP’s chief ministerial candidate Kiran Bedi on Tuesday said she was against “divisive politics”.
“My religion is that of humanity. I’ve never believed in divisive politics,” Ms. Bedi told a rally in Seelampur constituency in New Delhi.
“My sisters, you will get security. It is my responsibility. If you’re facing any trouble, call the CM’s control room. I will not tell you that the police is not under me,” Ms. Bedi said taking a jibe at former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit’s remarks post December 16, 2012, gang-rape.
