  Uma Bharati in BJP national executive
Rehabilitating sidelined former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Uma Bharati, Bharatiya Janata Party president Lal Kishenchand Advani on Saturday appointed her as a member of the party's national executive.
Bharati had maintained that she has never lobbied for any post but wanted to work for the party and be given some responsibility.
Uma Bharti's travails began on November 10 last year when she was sacked as party general secretary and suspended from its primary membership after she openly defied party president Advani in full glare of national television cameras.

Bharati may have retracted temporarily but she is bound to bounce back despite having often received threats of strong disciplinary action for defying the party order.
