Seems like Kiran Bedi has had enough of politics. In Panaji to participate in the Women Economic Forum, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s chief ministerial candidate for the 2014 Delhi Assembly elections said that she would not contest elections again. While she wasn't inclined towards "active politics", she said she was inclined towards "active public service". Bedi, who lost from the Krishna Nagar constituency, long held by party veteran Harsh Vardhan, described her experience during the Delhi elections as the "finest experience of her life" and thanked the BJP for reposing trust in her.
