Bedi as CM candidate a 'masterstroke' by BJP: Shanti Bhushan

The AAP, however, claimed that Bhushan's remarks showed there was "inner democracy" in the party and said the views expressed by him were "personal".

Bhushan, a senior Supreme Court lawyer, also said that if Bedi becomes the Chief Minister, Anna Hazare would be very happy and termed her role in the Hazare-led anti-corruption movement as "influential".

"Kiran Bedi's joining BJP is a masterstroke of BJP. I feel to bring her into the party    and making her the CM nominee was a masterstroke because Bedi in Anna's movement was with (Arvind) Kejriwal and Prashant (Bhushan) and her contribution there was influential as a crusader of corruption," Bhushan said.

Asked about his remarks, Kiran Bedi simply thanked Bhushan and refused to comment further.

Bhushan also called for a "reorientation" within AAP saying all was not well in the party and it was not being run following its founding principles.

"Reorientation within AAP is very much needed. Their stress must be on reforming political system, improving political standards. I think everything is not right in the party and it is not being run on lines it was expected to run or what it was established for," he said.
