MP Liquor Shop Stunt: Uma Bharti’s Desperate Attempt to Gain Lost Political Ground

News 18  

In 2003, a young, firebrand Bhagwa-clad sadhvi Uma Bharti had swept to power with a landslide win in Madhya Pradesh. RECENT GIMMICK Bharti’s recent populist gimmick, where she stepped inside a liquor shop in Barkheda Pathani area in Bhopal on Sunday afternoon and hurled a stone at liquor bottles, breaking several of them, has got mixed reactions. MPCC media cell in charge Jitu Patwari was the first to react on Bharti’s video saying, “At least there is someone who walks the talk in the BJP.” Bharti has been demanding liquor prohibition in her home state for the past one-and-a-half years. “It’s an open secret that liquor sale can’t be scrapped overnight in a state like MP, which depends heavily on excise revenue,” a senior journalist told News18.com. A senior journalist from Bhopal said, “Given the fact she has apparently lost favour with the central leadership in the past as well, and the incumbent top leadership enjoying sizable backing of the Hindutva brigade, Bharti’s relevance as a Hindutva icon has reduced.” Read all the Latest News India and Breaking News here
