Team Anna Member Denies Rift Between Kejriwal, Bedi

NEW DELHI/GHAZIABAD: Even as differences between Arvind Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi were aired publicly, another Team Anna member Manish Sisodia on Saturday said it should not be seen as a divide.

Sisodia dubbed it as information gap and said there was no difference of opinion.

"I think the information about Kejriwalji's interview must have reached Kiranji in a very brief manner. It should not be seen as there is any difference of view between the two," Sisodia told reporters in Ghaziabad.

"Though I have not talked to either of them... perhaps Kiranji did not have some information, or Kejriwal did not have some information. I don't think there is any need to give it an interpretation," he added.

Kejriwal said in an interview on Friday that Bedi should not have inflated her air ticket bills. The former police officer hit back on Saturday, saying he did not understand the issue.

"The problem is that perhaps he does not understand the issue. Perhaps if Arvindji had a little more understanding of this issue, his answer would have been different," Bedi told reporters.

She had submitted inflated air ticket bills to NGOs reimbursing her travel expenses.

"I have given a whole interview on this, if he (Kejriwal) sees it he will get the answers," Bedi said.
