Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal gave his best wishes to Kiran Bedi for her new assignment.

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today gave his best wishes to Kiran Bedi for her new assignment as the Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry.

"My best wishes to Kiran Didi for this new role," Mr Kejriwal tweeted.

Ms Bedi was today appointed as Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry.

Mr Kejriwal and Ms Bedi, both former civil servants and one-time friends, were part of social activist Anna Hazare's anti-corruption movement.

While Mr Kejriwal went to form the Aam Aadmi Party, Ms Bedi later joined the BJP. She was declared the chief ministerial candidate of the party to take on Mr Kejriwal. The former IPS officer was, however, defeated in Delhi Assembly polls 2015 while the AAP chief secured a stupendous victory in the national capital.
