Old stalwart who was guiding the Anna movement, but now  Shanti Bhushan, a founding member of the Aam Aadmi Party, did watch Kiran Bedi from close quarters ,who did initiate the Anna movement to weed out corruption.Anna was imported from village in Maharashtra to give movement a Gandhian touch. With more group like Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and yog Guru Ramdevfollwed suit. 

 Shanti praising,  Kiran Bedi, declaring that the Bharatiya Janata Party's chief ministerial candidate would give Delhi a very clean and efficient government.

The senior AAP leader came out in Kiran Bedi's support and called the move by BJP to project Kiran Bedi as Delhi chief ministerial candidate as a masterstroke.

Shanti Bhushan told ANI: 'It is a master stroke by the BJP to bring Kiran Bediji and declare her party's CM candidate. Kiranji made a huge contribution to 'India Against Corruption', She would provide a very clean and efficient administration.'

He added that all was not well within the AAP and even stated that the party should be happy if the former IPS officer becomes the chief minister of Delhi.

"AAP was born out of a crusade against corruption, so they should be happy if a member (Kiran Bedi) of the same crusade becomes chief minister. I think everything is not right in AAP, the party is not being run on lines it was expected to run or what it was established for," said Bhushan.

The senior leader also called for a reorientation within AAP stating they must stress on "reforming political system and improving political standards".

While Kiran Bedi thanked Bhushan for his support, the AAP was quick to defend itself.

"Ours is a democratic party, he has every right to express his opinion. But party does not subscribe to his opinion, Kiranji has shown political opportunism and somersault on her part," said party spokesperson Ashutosh.

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise.
