Heaping praise on the party, the former IPS officer said, "Nothing would have happened had the BJP not taken a stand. As a major opposition party, it has played a vital role in swinging it. They have been the game-changers."

She said senior BJP leader LK Advani had called her and assured that a solution would be found by Saturday evening.

She said, "When I got a message that Advani and PM are meeting, I knew it would be done. That was the time of miracle. I am grateful to him."

Bedi also lauded young MPs like Sandeep Dikshit for playing a constructive role.

She, however, said she was not remorseful for her controversial comments against politicians on Friday. "It went against my grain. It is not in my training but it was worth it...I did not mean to hurt anybody," she said.
