Like PM Modi, Kiran Bedi to start radio show 'Dil ki Baat' if she comes to power

New Delhi, Jan 24: Taking cue from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's successful radio programme Mann Ki Baat, BJP Chief Ministerial candidate from Delhi, Kiran Bedi has said that if she will be voted to power, then she will also start a radio show.

Bedi said that the radio talk will give her a platform to connect with the youth and she will start a radio address and may call it 'Dil Ki Baat' where youth can call her.

"The Prime Minister will speak through Mann ki Baat and Delhi's chief minister will speak her ‘Dil ki Baat' every month to connect with Delhi. History will be created," she was quoted as saying in an Indian Express report.

"Every month there will be a review of the security in Delhi. We will take stock of places where crimes take place against women. We will try to find out who is at fault - whether it was parents, the school, police or the administration. In each case, we will fix responsibility. And every month during the talk show, the CM will give an account of the action taken and who was at fault in which case," Bedi further said.

In coming days, Bedi will campaign in her constituency and will hold 70 rallies covering all the constituencies in the national capital in the days ahead of the Assembly polls.

A 21-member election committee of the party on Friday met to discuss the party's campaign strategy for the February 7 polls. The meeting was chaired by senior BJP leader Nirmala Sitharaman.

"Bedi will hold as many as 70 rallies in all the 70 constituencies. She has been asked to hold around four to five rallies every day so that every constituency is covered," said a senior BJP leader.

He also said that the party is banking heavily on the former IPS officer to raise support among the people given her "clean" image.

"It was also decided that all candidates will tell people about the work done by the central government (led by BJP). Besides, party leaders will also apprise the voters of the lies of Aam Aadmi Party," the BJP leader added.

The saffron party has also asked its booth in-charges and Panna Pramukh to go door-to-door seeking support, saying that the campaign should be conducted as a kind of "mission" and not as if it were just for an election.

Meanwhile, another senior leader said that the party will release its manifesto for the polls between 26 and 28 January.

"The manifesto committee headed by Union Minister Harsh Vardhan is about to complete its work. We may release our election manifesto between 26 and 28 January. In it, the party will mainly focus on water and electricity as issues for the upcoming Assembly elections," he added.
