Arvind defeat the kiran bedi:Kiran Bedi’s political career seems to have ended even before it
could take off. Perhaps it won’t make much of a difference to her – she
can dissociate herself from politics and get on with social work. What
intrigues many though is how everything could go against her. She is
certainly no lightweight when it comes to public life. She has a strong
brand value, is the country’s first woman IPS officer, she is a
Magsaysay award winner and was one of the leading figures in the Anna Hazare movement. So what went wrong?
Leadership requires a different set of skills. Her achievements can only be a value addition to her leadership skills, it’s never the other way round, say political analysts. They point out to five mistakes that saw her presiding over the shameful rout of the BJP in the assembly polls.
Failure to connect:
According to political analysts, Bedi’s communication and body language during her rallies reeked of arrogance. Her comment on Kejriwal not being invited on Republic Day “I think he (Kejriwal) is playing sob sob. I think he must grow up” drew a lot of criticism in the media and later became counter-productive for the party.
By taking a U-turn on her earlier statements (on Twitter in 2012 & 2013) against Narendra Modi, and then appreciating him after joining the BJP, dented her credibility. “This is nothing but opportunism and one can’t fool voters now-a-days. People understand everything,” said an analyst.
According to a party insider, “No one openly opposed her as it was the decision of the PM to project her as a CM candidate, but there was an undercurrent of rebellion in the party. She failed to connect both with the party cadre and the masses.”
Even after the massive electoral drubbing, Bedi courted controversy by telling the media on Tuesday, “It was not my loss…it was BJP’s defeat.”
