In a surprise development, Uma Bharti on Thursday quit Bharatiya Janashakti, a party she had founded and was heading after being sacked from the BJP in 2005.
Bharatiya Janashakti Party president Uma Bharti on Tuesday charged the BJP with using money power in a big way and misusing the administration to ensure its victory in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly polls.
The Leader of Opposition in the Madhya Pradesh assembly, Jamuna Devi heads the list of 25 women elected to the new State assembly.
Bharti threatened to launch a vigorous campaign against the 'terror perpetrated by criminal elements and to save the people of the state'.
Uma said Ram Mandir and Hindutva will be the main poll plank of her party in the upcoming assembly elections.
A minor swing of votes will be crucial to decide the fate of candidates in 21 out of 230 Assembly constituencies in Madhya Pradesh where elections are scheduled to be held on November 25.
