Bedi is BJP's trump card but some leaders are sulking

New Delhi, Jan 19: The BJP's projection of India's first woman police officer Kiran Bedi as its face in Delhi has divided the party, with one section overjoyed and the other left sulking. Some also feel that while the decision was right, it may have come a little too late for the Bharatiya Janata Party to score its first victory in assembly elections after 1993. The move took even some leaders in the BJP in Delhi by surprise but has boosted the morale of workers who were stunned by the aggressive campaign of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), party sources said. "The BJP has definitely found the right candidate (Bedi) and it will help the party's prospects as she has decades of administrative experience and knows how to get things done," party spokesman Ashwini Upadhyay told IANS. "She has worked on international assignments with the UN as well as on the streets to help children through her NGO," he added. Another party functionary, however, said that some leaders were sulking as their ambitions had been stifled.
