New Delhi (PTI): In another move indicating the growing proximity between BJP and Uma Bharti, one of her close associates joined the saffron party on Saturday.
"Prahlad Patel, a close associate of Bharatiya Janashakti Party leader Uma Bharti, joined the BJP today in Bhopal. He has not been given any post in the party and has joined without any conditions," BJP MP Prabhat Jha told PTI.
Earlier this week, Ms. Bharti had expressed her willingness to campaign for the BJP in all non-BJP ruled states.
Describing BJP's prime ministerial candidate, L K Advani, as a father-like figure for her, Ms. Bharti had said she wanted him to become the prime minister as he was "unparallelled in today's politics in India".
However, both Ms. Bharti and the BJP had clarified that she will not join the party or merge her party into BJP.
Ms. Bharti had stated that her party decided not to contest the Lok Sabha elections due to lack of funds. Her party will not field any candidates.
