Uma supports Advani’s prime ministerial candidature

Bhartiya Janshakti Party leader Uma Bharti has now come in support of LK Advani’s prime ministerial candidature.

Bharti, who left BJP accusing partisan behaviour of Advani, is understood to have expressed her support for the veteran leader in a letter, sources said. The letter saying that she would be “happy to see Advani at the Prime Minister’s chair” was delivered to Advani’s office through Bharti’s aide.

The contents of the letter also found a mention in the proceeding of the party’s central election committee which met today.

Bharti, a former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, may also be vying a patch up ahead of the Lok Sabha polls after her Bhartiya Janshakti party was virtually routed in the last assembly polls in Madhya Pradesh. Bharti herself had failed to win her pocket borough
Tikamgarh.
