Despite efforts by the Sangh and Gadkari, Uma Bharti’s entry into the BJP has been postponed for the time being. Gadkari brought the matter at the party forum during the recent core group meeting, but the second-tier leaders made their displeasure openly known about the president’s decision. Anant Kumar was the first to speak against it, “What work does Uma have in UP?” Jaitley and Venkaiah went next and at the end, Sushma too vented her feelings and spoke about how Shivraj Singh Chauhan also has fears and misgivings and that should be clarified first. For now Uma is working with the “Clean Ganga” movement but equally important is the cleanliness of the BJP leaders’ minds and hearts.
