Former IPS officer turned politician Kiran Bedi on Wednesday rubbished the accusations made by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of being soft on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) during the India Against Corruption (IAC) movement.

"I am not angry at anyone, and if I was soft on the Bharatiya Janata Party then why did Arvind Kejriwal offer chief ministerialship at that time?" asked Bedi.

Earlier on Saturday, AAP leader Kumar Vishwas had accused Bedi, the BJP's chief ministerial candidate, of trying to influence activist Anna Hazare's team during the India Against Corruption (IAC) movement from attacking the BJP.
