Her response prompted AAP to accuse Bedi of being afraid of facing the challenge from Kejriwal who took the electoral fight to East Delhi’s Krishna Nagar constituency from where she is contesting.
“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 the issues. The debate of around 1-2 hours should be on concrete issues,” Kejriwal said earlier during his roadshow.
Bedi retorted saying: “They are into drama while I am focused on work.”
“I accept the challenge. I will do it in the Assembly and before that I am focusing on delivery rather than on debates because that’s what he’s been doing. He’s only been debating. What I am doing is delivery of goals, services, programmes,” she added. As the war of words continued, Kejriwal scoffed at her response, saying people want to know how political parties will deal with pressing issues confronting them before casting their votes, not after the elections.
“People want to know whether BJP will reduce power and water tariff, and how it will bring down prices of essential items, how it will put an end to bribery and corruption” he said.
The former Delhi Chief Minister also took a dig at BJP over the protests at the party’s state office saying while AAP is a ray of hope, the fights in BJP show “no sign of abating”.
“BJP has won in Maharashtra, Haryana, Jharkhand but the party is choking after coming to Delhi. On one hand AAP is a ray of hope, on the other we get news that workers outside BJP office are fighting over ticket distribution,” Kejriwal said.
