AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal Tuesday said the BJP has already conceded defeat in the Delhi assembly polls, and would blame its chief ministerial candidate Kiran Bedi for its loss.

Addressing a public rally in Krishna Nagar constituency, where the BJP has fielded Bedi, the former chief minister said: "When they will lose in the polls, they will say that it was because of Kiran Bedi."

The Aam Aadmi Party chief said Bedi, who joined the BJP last week and has been declared its chief ministerial candidate for Delhi, has joined the party to be "trapped".

The Krishna Nagar assembly segment is considered a bastion of the BJP.
