Project Parrikar, not Kejriwal: Kiran Bedi tells media

Calangute (

), Feb 2: Focus on Goa Chief Minister

, instead of harping on Delhi Chief Minister

, former Indian Police Service officer

told reporters in Goa on Sunday.

Bedi, who was once Kejriwal's ally in the anti-corruption campaign, is now backing Gujarat Chief Minister and BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.

Bedi was addressing reporters Sunday at a workshop on coastal security at the beach resort village of Calangute, 15 km from Goa capital Panaji.

After first refusing to comment on Kejriwal, Bedi said: "Why don't you talk about your own Chief Minister Parrikar? People here are saying he is doing a great job."

Bedi also said that there was too much spotlight on Kejriwal, and requested the media to highlight the Goa BJP chief minister's achievements too.

"People I have interacted with here have been speaking well about Parrikar's development," Bedi said.
