NEW DELHI: A day after she was thrown out of the party, BJP on Tuesday ruled out any possibility of Uma Bharati “appealing” against disciplinary action with former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee rebutting her charges that the party was “anti-OBC” and that its top brass has been “hijacked” by four gennext leaders.

“We have not received any letter from her but even if a letter comes...the parliamentary board can take a decision (on expelling her),” disciplinary committee chairman and former Union minister Ram Naik said in Mumbai, clearly hinting that the former Madhya Pradesh CM’s fate has been sealed.

In Delhi, Vajpayee said: “there is no truth” in Bharati’s allegation that four “hijackers” have got control of the plane which had the former PM and party president L. K. Advani as pilots and party workers as passengers.

“The party is moving forward at its own pace. It is going ahead with the goal in front of it. Nobody has hijacked anybody,” he told reporters.—Dawn/The Times of India News Service
