Uma now set to show strength in Delhi to save BJP Saturday, January 28 2006 18:11 Hrs (IST) - World Time -
New Delhi:
After crisscrossing the Hindi heartland during her 'Ram-Roti Yatra', expelled Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Uma Bharti today (Jan 28, 2006) announced plans for a show of strength in Delhi in March as part of her 'save-BJP' campaign.
Bharti, who yesterday termed the main Opposition party a 'pseudo-BJP', told sources today that she has given a call to her supporters to assemble in the national capital on March 9.
"I have urged the workers to assemble in Delhi as part of this save-BJP, save-nation campaign," she said.
Yesterday(Jan 27,2006) at a press conference here, she called former BJP chief L K Advani and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee 'non-performers'.
And in an apparent disapproval of the political events in Karnataka, where the BJP appears set to take power in alliance with the JD(S), the former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister said the new partnership would be 'injustice' to the people of thestate if it did not guarantee political stability.
"The most important thing is political stability. And, therefore, they (the BJP and the JD-S) should not do it (ally) if they just want power and money. It will be injustice to
Karnataka in that case," she remarked.
Also, Bharti, who calls herself a rightful claimant to the BJP's election symbol, however, said she had put on hold her plans to stake claim over lotus with the Election Commission until her latest 90-day 'Janadesh (mandate) Yatra' was over.
But she admitted she might not be 'technically' eligible for lotus over which she said she had 'full ideological' right.
