Singh, who was expelled from the BJP for the first time in 2009 over his controversial book "Jinnah: India, Partition, Independence" and was taken back in 2010, did not rule out the possibility of lending support to the NDA after the poll results.
"This is a question which will be addressed when I come across that situation. As of now, I do not want to comment anything," Singh told IANS when asked whether, in the event of his victory as an independent, he would support the NDA if it falls short of the 272 majority mark.
Singh, who was once close to Vajpayee and formed the leadership troika in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) along with L.K. Advani, said people in Barmer were angry that his candidature was rejected by the BJP "without any validity of reason".
"They are feeling personally humiliated that I have been expelled from the BJP. They are enraged that the BJP picked a candidate who recently lost in assembly election as a Congress candidate," he said, referring to Col. Sonaram Choudhury, who is now contesting from Barmer from the BJP ticket.
When asked if caste equation might have persuaded the BJP to field the former Congressman, Singh said, "The caste factor is a stupid and destructive reason being churned out."
