January 06, 2012

Just in: Firebrand sadhvi Uma Bharti has denied reports of a rift with the BJP over the induction of tainted BSP leader Babu Ram Kushwaha, saying she will continue to campaign for the party in the UP ahead of the state polls.

We had told you earlier that the BJP leader suspended campaigning saying she is upset with Babu Ram Kushwaha's induction into the party.

Whether she will in fact, contest the polls, will be decided at 4pm today when the BJP central election committee meets at Nitin Gadkari's residence in Delhi at 4 pm. Just last week, Uma Bharti was keen to get Kushwaha on board, but today, she has changed her stance saying she will not campaign for the UP polls till the issue of Kushwaha is settled.
