| New Delhi, July 18: Uma Bharti's re-entry into the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is not going to happen so soon despite "100 percent" assurance from party chief Nitin Gadkari and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.
BJP insiders say Gadkari has intimated Bharti she was already "a party member", but an official entry has to wait a bit. Reason: A section in the party's Madhya Pradesh section led by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan is opposed to the idea.
RSS general secretary Suresh Soni, who is feared for his power to veto BJP appointments in the state, is siding with Chauhan in this turf battle. For now, Bharti, known for her hard Hindutva rhetoric, has been advised to avoid the media glare and be a little patient.
An undeterred Bharti, meanwhile, has taken off on a nine-day secret pilgrimage - perhaps to pray for some divine intervention. (IANS) |
