Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) fiery and famous leader Uma Bharti openly expressed her opinion on many issues in Bhopal. On the statement of Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat’s ‘retirement from politics after the age of 75’, he said that this statement is being misinterpreted. He clarified that politics is a profession in which there is no retirement.
Uma Bharti said, “There are many professions in the society in which serving till the last breath, such as doctors, writers, poets, teachers, journalists and politicians. There is no age of activeness in politics. Mohan Bhagwat’s statement may be probably about the post or chair, but the activity does not see age.”
Long innings intent in politics
When he was asked about his political future, Uma Bharti replied bluntly- “I will do 15 to 20 years more politics. And if I feel like I will contest elections.”
Accused of harassment in every round
Recalling her old days, Uma Bharti claimed that she and her family were tortured in every government era. Without naming any party, he questioned both BJP and Congress. He said, “Between 1990 and 1992, I had to face harassment from the government machinery. My name was dragged at the time of Vyapam scam in 2013. Mentally a lot of torture was given.”
He also questioned the functioning of the investigating agencies and said that the CBI should make it clear why their name was linked to the Vyapam scam. He also asked that the real culprits were not saved under the guise of his name?
Distance from family, focus on social issues
Uma Bharti also announced that she is now completely separating from her family and will continue to struggle on issues like Ganga purification, cow-protection and prohibition. He described these issues as his priority.
Governments advise to take concrete steps
On the issue of Ganga cleaning and cow protection, he said that the central and Madhya Pradesh governments are making efforts, but now more solid and strict steps are needed. On prohibition, he also said that the government should show hardness in this direction.
Praising Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, Uma Bharti said, “He is a well-educated and good administrator, doing good work.” At the same time, remembering the era of former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan, he said, “There was talk of fighting at that time, but many times there was an atmosphere like ‘Save, Save’. I also got sympathy.”
