If u ask any tough question to Bedi..Either she will block u or leave interview midway and will run away like she did yesterday. #IRunBedi

The hashtag battle intensified with the joining of Kiran Bedi into the  Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Those who favoured her decision floated the hashtags like #CheckmateAAP, while those who did not like her joining politics came up with #KiranBediUTurn, among others.


In fact AAP leaders and supporters slammed Bedi over her decision by posting screen grab her earlier tweets which were anti BJP and anti Modi. It was further intensified when former AAP leader Shazia Ilmi joined BJP

Interestingly, in this battle, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is a step ahead of the BJP. AAP members and supporters are posting rally picture, TV and print news on social media. BJP too is thriving but facing stiff competition with AAP.

#BediVsKejriwal is like #IPSvIRS ! IPS means pro-active, with fighting spirit. IRS is just tax collector! (Chanda Collector)!
