On the eve of the high-profile Delhi assembly polls -- two chief ministerial aspirants -- Aam Aadmi Party’s Arvind Kejriwal and Bharatiya Janata Party’s Kiran Bedi – on Friday sought divine blessings for the electoral battle.
Unwinding after a hectic campaign spree, Kejriwal did yoga at his residence early in the morning before going to a salon for a hair cut.
He later visited Gurudwara Rakabganj and BirlaTemple in his New Delhi constituency.
Bedi offered prayers at a gurudwara in her Krishna Nagar constituency and was seen rolling out ‘rotis’ for langar (community kitchen).
“I am not doing it for the first time. I used to visit gurudwaras in Amritsar when I was a child. I used to go to church in my school. I believe in all religions. I learnt the ‘sarva dharma’ during my childhood. It’s all upto God now,” Bedi said.
