“Our party will contest elections from almost all parliamentary seats of MP,” BJS president Uma Bharti told a press conference in Bhopal.

Bharti said that the party was gearing up to fight the Parliamentary elections from five to six states including MP and Tamil Nadu.

Asked whether she had plans to contest the Lok Sabha elections, Bharti said, she had not taken a final decision yet.

However, as party president she would campaign for those candidates who would contest the polls, she said.

The BJS president said that though her party had won five seats in the MP assembly polls recently, it would be ahead of the major opposition party Congress in voicing concerns of the people vehemently against the BJP government’s misrule in state.
