Yadav said that Bedi was 'like an insurance policy for Narendra Modi.' "If BJP loses, she'll be blamed. It has nothing to do with her worth. If she really wanted to work with Modi why did she join 20 days ahead of polls," he said.
Yadav added that he was shocked to see Shazia Ilmi in the BJP. "She was alsways a feminist , totally secular. Now I see her on stage with Amit Shah, a portrait of Veer Savarkar. It's very depressing," he said.
On asking whether he felt betrayed, Yadav says that betray is a very strong word. "I feel very sad. Delhi voters are very aware, They will see through the BJP's game in including Bedi."
