Kiran Bedi sends legal notice to AAP chief Kejriwal
New Delhi, Jan 27
BJP's chief ministerial
nominee Kiran Bedi Tuesday sent a legal notice to AAP leader Arvind
Kejriwal for using her photograph in the party's poster campaign without
her permission.
"Yes, she has sent a notice to Kejriwal. He has
been asked to ensure that the posters are removed," Bharatiya Janata
Party's (BJP) media convener Praveen Shankar Kapoor told IANS.
The
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has recently put up posters on numerous
auto-rickshaws plying in the national capital, asking the people of
Delhi to choose between Kejriwal and Bedi for the post of chief
minister.
In the posters, the picture of Kejriwal has the word
"imandar" (honest) printed below it while that of Bedi has "avsarvadi"
(opportunist).
Earlier, fellow party leader Jagdish Mukhi, too,
had sent a notice to Kejriwal for using his photograph in similar
posters, before the BJP declared Bedi as their chief ministerial
candidate.
The AAP pitted Kejriwal against Mukhi, even though the
BJP had said that they would contest the Delhi election under Prime
Minister Narendra Modi without naming a CM candidate -- the BJP,
however, later named Bedi for the post after she joined the party
earlier this month.
