"May be they (the BJP leaders) are nervous that if I'm there, then entire public attention will be on me," Uma Bharti said
Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and the BJP's senior leader Uma Bharti was overlooked by the party for the Jan Ashirwad Yatra, which was flagged off by Union Home Minister and the party chief JP Nadda today.
"May be they (the BJP leaders) are nervous that if I'm there, then entire public attention will be on me," said the 64-year-old. "If Jyotiraditya Scindia helped them form the government (in 2020), even I helped them form a bigger majority government (in 2003)," Uma Bharti said.
"He (Scindia) is loved by me as a nephew, but at least I was worthy of being invited to the Yatra launch, even though I wouldn't have gone there. But I'll still campaign for the BJP and solicit votes for the party in the coming polls," added the firebrand leader, once known to be close to party veteran LK Advani.
