New Delhi (Agencies): Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal has sent a formal invitation to Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit inviting her for an open public debate.

"Why is Sheila Dikshit is scared of a debate? Harsh Vardhan (BJP's chief ministerial candidate), she and I can debate, not in a TV studio, but among people," Kejriwal added. Kejriwal’s official invitation to the Delhi CM came days after she told a TV news channel that she was ready for a debate with the AAP leader if he formally writes to her. She had said, “I am not shy of a political debate. I have debated with Sushma Swaraj in the past. Public debates are healthy in a democracy." Dikshit’s response came after Kejriwal dared her for a public debate with him on the issues relating to "inflated" power and water bills and women's safety among others.
