I will not return to BJP: Uma

Narsinghpur, MP, Apr 10 (UNI) Bharatiya Janshakti (BJ) President Uma Bharti today made it clear that she would not return to the BJP.

Ms Bharti gave the statement while replying to questions by reporters at Dangidhana village in Narsinghpur district.

''My statement is being presented in a twisted manner. I would not return to the BJP at any cost,'' she said, adding that she would reject any offer by BJP President Rajnath Singh or senior leader L K Advani to return to the BJP.

Ms Bharti said the BJP had deviated from its ideology of Hindutva, while her party was well-wisher of Hindus.

Taking soft stand of party leader Prahlad Patel for his rebellious stand, Ms Bharti said Mr Patel was her senior and she did not wish to comment about him.

Ms Bharti was visited Narsinghpur while going from Jabalpur to Hoshangabad. She met BJ leader Raja Bhaiyya at Dangidhana village.
