New Delhi, Jan 19 (IBNS) Former-top-cop-turned politician Kiran Bedi on Monday thanked the BJP leadership after she was named as the party's Chief ministerial candidate for the upcoming Assembly polls in Delhi.

" I will like to thank the party leadership," Bedi told media after she was named as the BJP's CM candidate for Delhi Assembly polls.

"We will create a beautiful Delhi," she said.

The announcement was made after the BJP’s  parliamentary board meeting here which was attended by the top leaders of the party.

After the meeting, BJP president Amit Shah said: "We will fight the polls under Bedi's leadership."

Shah said she will fight the polls from the Krishna Nagar seat.

"The decision to make Kiran Bedi the party's chief ministerial candidate for Delhi was supported by all members," Shah said.

Bedi had joined the party recently.

Aam Aadmi Party leader Somnath Bharti said the move showed that the BJP did not have leaders of their own.

Delhi Assembly elections will be held on Feb. 7.
