Lucknow, November 17: Bhartiya Janshakti Party president Uma Bharti today said she had sent a proposal to NDA leaders for joining the alliance but had no intention of going back to the BJP fold.
“On the basis of experiences in the last five years, I have realised that to become a national entity, you need to be a part of a bigger alliance.
“Therefore, I have sent a proposal to Sharad Yadav and Lal Krishna Advani to join the NDA,” she told reporters here.
“I had a bitter experience after floating the new party.
I have realised that if you work without an alliance, you are confined to one particular state,” Bharti said.
Ideologicallly her party was more close to the NDA on certain issues, she said but added that did not mean “I will join the BJP”.
