The BJP on Thursday said it would take a decision on the return of Uma Bharti after she approached the party leadership on this. "We will take our stand when she tells me. As of know, there has not been any talk with her," BJP President Nitin Gadkari told reporters in Kolkata.
Bharti had recently resigned from Bharatiya Jan Shakti (BJS), the party she floated four years ago, following her expulsion from BJP, amidst speculation of her return to the parent party.
To a question on the reported resentment of some BJP stalwarts over their non-inclusion in his new team of office bearers, Gadkari claimed the media was blowing it out of proportion. "Whatever little grievances were there, those do not exist now", he said. He said there was a good opportunity for the young generation to find a place in the new team of office-bearers.
Some BJP leaders, including Shatrughan Sinha, Shahnawaz Hussain and C P Thakur, were reportedly sulking over their exclusion in the new team. PTI
