Uma Bharati all set to return to BJP?

May 03, 2011 20:41 IST

Former chief minister of Madhya Pradesh Sadhvi Uma Bharti on Tuesday claimed in Lucknow that she will be back in the Bharatiya Janata Party in "another 2-4 days."

"Just wait and you will know" was her comment when asked if she will campaign for the BJP in Uttar Pradesh's  assembly elections next year. Bharti was summarily sacked after her outburst against party veteran Lal Krishna Advani at an executive meeting at the party headquarters here in full glare of the media.

Sources said BJP President Nitin Gadkari has agreed to take her back in the party, but with a condition that she will keep away from her home state Madhya Pradesh in view of reservations of Shivraj Singh Chauhan who replaced her as the chief minister.
