Uma Bharti Comes Out Of Hiatus, Campaigns For Scindia In Guna
Deccan ChronicleSenior BJP leader and former chief minister Uma Bharti on Wednesday joined her party’s campaign for the ongoing Lok Sabha elections in Madhya Pradesh after a four-month “break from politics” by canvassing for Union minister Jyotiradiya Scindia in Guna LS constituency in the state. Ms Bharti addressed two public meetings along with Mr Scindia in Pichhore and Shivpuri, falling under Guna LS seat, and joined him at a road show held in Shivpuri later in the evening. The party leadership had evinced little interest when Ms Bharti had offered to campaign for the BJP in the last Assembly elections in the state. Sources said that Ms Bharti was roped in by Mr Scindia to campaign in Shivpuri and Pichhore because the two Assembly constituencies have sizeable population of Lodhi community to which Ms Bharti belonged to.
