Kejriwal was not ready to wait: Kiran Bedi

INDORE: "It is difficult to be selfless in politics. You have to do something daily to remain in news. However, there is no such compulsion for India Against Corruption (IAC) members," said core group member of defunct Team Anna, Kiran Bedi. She was interacting with the local unit members of IAC in Indore on Friday.
She said, "Arvind Kejriwal was not ready to wait so he formed a political party and the group separated.Two years back, it was decided that our struggle would not get political. But Arvind's mood changed and he entered the politics. But we will wait and continue with our non-political struggle," said Kiran Bedi.
When asked why she did not want to join politics, she said that politics does not suit her nature.
"I believe in service and at times, I like to perform on my own terms. I do not like to be questioned much without any reason and if I join politics, I will be constantly pestered about my performance by the voters," she said.
When she asked how many of the IAC members present there were with non-political faction of the IAC, none of them came forward. Later, when they said that they were with both the factions, Kiran asked them to take a firm stand. "I have plans only for non-political IAC," she stressed.
However, few women later expressed their interest to constitute non-political IAC and she exhorted them to do so. She also suggested them to contact her once the non-political IAC is constituted.
She asked all the IAC members to follow the path suggested by Anna.
"Be clean no matter if you are contesting in election or voting for a particular candidate. Join hands if you are opposing any corrupt leader," she added.
