Bhopal: Uma attends BJP working committee meet after long time, raises political stir

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Former chief minister Uma Bharti reached the state Bharatiya Janata Party’s attended the working committee meeting after a long time on Tuesday.

Union minister Narendra Singh Tomar appreciated Bharti. She has opened a front against the government in connection with sale of liquor and illegal mining.

Bharti’s joining the meeting indicates that the party wants to use her for the ensuing assembly elections.

At a recent meeting with the people of Lodhi community, Bharti’s statement that they could vote anyone they wished to kicked up a row.

Bharti is influential among the people of Lodhi community, so the BJP wants to bring her back to the mainstream of the party.
