Bharatiya Janata Party leader Uma Bharti has admitted to ideological differences with party chief Lal Kishenchand Advani.

Bharti, who attacked Advani on Thursday, said she was hurt that no leaders "came forward to protect me."

"There are certain things which are not personal. They are confined to me and Advani," she said in an interview to NDTV.

"I will not say whether they are sorted out or not," she said.

She did not elaborate on what issued she expected the backing of senior party leaders.

To a question on differences with Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Babulal Gaur, Bharati said "there is no problem".

Asked whether there was some "hidden" element working against her in the party, she said, "There is somebody who is not in Bhopal, who is in Delhi and who is in a very powerful position. And it is not Gaur. I have nothing against him.

"If Gaur thinks so, then he is sadly mistaken, he must be cured for that, he must take treatment for that," she said.
