What a gamechanging masterstroke by PM Modi and BJP President Amit Shah! IPS Kiran Bedi is one woman in the country who has come up in public life solely on her achievements -- not for being related to someone or not for being glamorous or not because of her caste or not for having a dictatorial hold over the party. She has inspired a generation of young Indian women to take up policing and army, the professions most inhospitable to women by design. Such a woman taking the helm of a cadre-based party by making a lateral entry is a statement on todays state of Indian politics that is valuing merit over all other considerations. Kiran Bedi is among the countable few CM-materials in the nation who grasps the challenges of city administration and urban planning by fingertip intuition, others in the club being PM Modi and AP CM Naidu. The sweeping message from this induction will go a long way to open up political space for aspiring women across the length and breadth of the country! Very hopeful times for the nation!!
