Bedi to meet Anna to convince him about her joining politics

New Delhi, Jan 19 (IBNS) Former top cop Kiran Bedi, who recently joined the BJP as a prospective star candidate for the Delhi Assembly elections, on Monday said she would meet Anna Hazare and explain her decision to join politics.
Bedi was a close associate of the veteran Gandhian leader during his satyagraha movement against corruption.
 
Hazare has  refused to take  Bedi's calls after she joined the BJP.
 
"I am not upset because Anna does not know why I have taken on this mantle,"  Bedi told NDTV in an  interview.
 
"The moment Anna knows that this for me is supreme giving.., the ultimate giving. It was time to give myself ultimately for India first and Delhi," she said adding soon she would meet Hazare.
 
Bedi had earlier admitted that her phone to the Gandhian leader went unanswered.  "I called Anna-ji on the telephone; sometimes he  was sleeping and sometimes he was taking rest. I tried calling Anna-ji yesterday and will again call him tomorrow."
 
On Friday, Hazare had told reporters that Kiran Bedi had not contacted him before joining the BJP nor she had been in touch with him for a year.
