New Delhi: Coming out openly against the Arvind Kejriwal-led party, former cop Kiran Bedi on Monday said a vote for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is like a vote for the Congress. 

Bedi, who is Anna Hazare's close aide, also reiterated her support for Narendra Modi as the next potential prime minister of the country.

“If you vote for AAP it means you are indirectly helping Congress through the backdoor...Modi only option,” said Bedi, according to news report. 

Earlier, Bedi had posted on the micro-blogging site Twitter - “For me it's India First! Stable,Well Governed, Administered, Accountable and Inclusive. As an independent voter, my vote is for NaMo.” 

"The man is delivering and has brought good development in Gujarat. His nomination (as BJP's PM candidate) brings more clarity among voters to make their choices," Bedia had said while delivering a speech in Ahmedabad last year. 

Apart from Bedi, singing legend Lata Mangeshkar had also confirmed that her vote for the 2014 General Elections will go for the Modi. 

"For country's stability, experienced hands" she had said. 

"Any one of us who wants a scam free country cannot vote back Congress! India needs stability and experienced hands to provide for all!," she had tweeted.
