Kiran Bedi, the BJP's chief ministerial candidate, broke down while campaigning today in a part of Delhi from where she is contesting her first ever election.
"This is the love of the people and I don't have words for the kind of love I am getting," Ms Bedi said, dabbing her eyes with a handkerchief.
Ms Bedi was apparently moved when people brought her flasks filled with tea during her roadshow at Krishna Nagar, the constituency in east Delhi from where she is contesting the assembly polls on Saturday.
Ms Bedi always starts her day at Krishna Nagar before campaigning for other BJP candidates in the city.
Many who met her today said they were surprised to see another side of the 65-year-old former Indian Police Service officer.
AAP has taken the fight to Ms Bedi's corner today by organizing, not far from where she was campaigning, an "Aam Aurat" or mega women's rally.
Last week, amid reports that the BJP was worried about the less than enthusiastic response of voters, Ms Bedi had stopped addressing rallies and meetings saying she had a sore throat.
