Uma's spiritual guru asks her to withdraw candidates from Guj Assy

Narsinghpur(MP), Nov 23 (UNI) Bharatiya Janshakti chief Uma Bharti said her spiritual guru Swami Vishweshteerth has directed her to withdraw her party candidates from Gujarat Assembly election and she had sought two days time to consider it.

Asked whether there was any possibility of her return to the BJP-fold, by the reporters last night at Barman ghat of the Narmada river, Ms Bharti preferred silence.

Earlier, she used to respond quickly to such questions stating it as misleading information spread by BJP leaders. This time the Sadhvi's silence put her party workers in a fix.

She, however, said she had arrived to take a dip at the holy river in order to purify her thoughts. Accompanying her was suspended BJP MLA Jalam Singh Patel.

Ms Bharti is scheduled to visit Saketdham Dilhari Ashram to attend the 'Chaturmas' conclusion rituals by Ayodhya-based Sant Padamdas Maharaj.
