Ayodhya: Making it clear that there would be no compromise with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leadership, expelled leader Uma Bharti today (Jan 14, 2006) said she would embark on a fresh 90-day march from February to drum up public support in her favour, an apparent move towards launching a separate political outfit.

Concluding her 48-day-long 'Ram-Roti' Yatra here, Bharti continued her attack against L K Advani by alleging that BJP had lost its ideological base on which the organisation was formed and asked Rajnath Singh to launch a separate outfit under the leadership of the former Deputy Prime Minister.

The firebrand leader, who stormed into the national political scene by playing a prominent role in the Ram Temple movement, said her future life would be guided by five principles, Swadeshi, Suraksha, Swabhimaan, Suchita and Suraaj, and asserted that she would seek public support for these principles.

"I will embark on a 90-day 'Jan Adesh Yatra' on February 6 from to Vindya Vahini to Chitrakoot to seek public support.

My future political life would depend on this yatra and if I get enough public support, I will announce a definite direction to my political life at Chitrakoot," she told reporters here.

"The march would cover Uttar Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Assam and Bihar and south Indian states," she said, adding, "The aim of the yatra would be to gauge the public mood in her favour."

Indicating that she was ready to join hands with like-minded forces, Bharti said she was not averse to coalition politics, but made it clear that it should not be at the cost of ideology. "I am ready to forge alliances for assuming power, but it would be used for the benefit of the poor."

Asked if BJP expresses readiness to take her back, Bharti said she could be technically out of the party, but ideologically she was part of the saffron outfit as she believed in the eight guiding principles on the basis of which the party was formed.

"It is necessary to ascertain who is in and who is out (of BJP) because BJP means an ideology on the basis of which the party was formed in Mumbai. Who-so-ever follows these principles is a BJP member. I follow these principles and so I don't consider myself out of BJP," she said.
