Arvind Kejriwal's company 'highly toxic', he is negative, says Kiran Bedi

New Delhi: In a stinging attack on Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal, BJP’s chief ministerial candidate Kiran Bedi on Wednesday called his influence “highly toxic” and described him as a “negative” person.

I felt it to an extent even when I was with him, but we had a common goal that the country must rid itself of scams and corruption. Whoever you may be, we had one goal. “I used to have an argument with him, why are you calling press conferences, it’s not needed. Why are you calling for this dharna, it is not needed,” Bedi told a private news channel, breaking away from her earlier comments that she will not make any personal attacks in the run-up to the elections. The former cop said that even during the Anna movement, she could feel his negativity. “I think he is highly negative. I noticed that even during the Anna movement,” she said when asked to describe Kejriwal. Bedi said that it was not in her nature to indulge in such negativity, which is why she had refrained from commenting on statements of Kejriwal. PTI
