Uma needs to mend her ways to return to BJP: Gaur

Bhopal, Aug 4 (UNI) Madhya Pradesh Industries Minister and former Chief Minister Babulal Gaur today said Bharatiya Jan Shakti President Uma Bharti needs to mend her ways for her possible return to the BJP.

Mr Gaur, while addressing a 'meet the press' programme here, said there was no objection on the sadhvi's return provided she mended her ways.

He said Ms Bharti had three kinds of stubbornness -- Triya Hath, Sanyasi Hath and Raj Hath -- in her and she could become one of the best leaders if she abandoned them.

On whether Ms Bharti would return to the BJP before state assembly elections next year, Mr Gaur said the BJP high command had to take a decision in this regard.

About the BJP revoking suspension of Ms Bharti's close confidant Dr Gaurishankar Shejwar, Mr Gaur said he welcome the decision.

After the historic victory of the BJP during assembly elections in 2003, Ms Bharti became the Chief Minister. However, she was forced to resign in the wake of a non-bailable warrant being issued against her by a court in Hubli.

Ms Bharti was replaced by Mr Gaur. When she was acquitted in the case, Ms Bharti demanded reinstatement.

In the political developments that followed Mr Shivraj Singh Chouhan became the new Chief Minister, while Ms Bharti formed a new party.
