A Graphic Novel based on Kiran Bedi's life
To thank hundreds of people who worked for her Chief Ministerial campaign, Kiran Bedi gave them a 32-page comic book. The subject is herself.
"I want it to be an inspiration for parents and students alike," Ms Bedi said at the BJP base camp in her constituency of Krishna Nagar in East Delhi.
An array of exit polls have predicted that Ms Bedi will be robustly defeated by Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Admi Party (AAP) when the results are declared tomorrow. Like other leaders of the BJP, Ms Bedi has rejected those predictions, but has also pledged to accept responsibility for the results.
The Hindi comic book focuses on the early accomplishments of the 64-year-old, including her term as a competitive tennis player. Today's release is one of a series, said Ms Bedi. The next installment will span her much-acclaimed emergence as India's first woman police officer.
Ms Bedi joined the BJP just 3 weeks before Delhi voted, and was announced its presumptive Chief Minister, bludgeoning a schism in the Delhi branch, where many veteran leaders felt displaced and discarded by her all-star arrival.
"I have given it my all. In the past 17 days, whatever time I got and was given is God's will. For any exam, when I've given my best then I get a sound sleep. The result is not in my hand, but karma is," she said in a vote of thanks.
