Chhindwara (MP), Nov 6:
A day after Bharatiya Jana Shakti (BJS) party president Uma Bharti slapped a party worker here, about 350 others, supposedly angered by her behaviour, resigned from the party.

BJS Chhindwara district president Nemi Chand Verma on Thursday resigned from the party along with 350 workers including several office bearers.

Bharti had slapped the party's district general secretary Anil Rai on Thursday and later addressed a press conference with him claiming they were like brother and sister and that she had the right to "love him or hit him".

Uma also sent a written apology to Rai, who is believed to be close to BJS's breakaway faction led by Prahlad Patel, but he resigned.

Those resigning along with Verma include Sanjay Konar, Kishor Munjare and Om Kumari.

    The behavior from a sadhvi like Uma Bharati needs to be better. Party's General Secretary needs to be treated in a better way. Whatever the relationship may be a politician needs to control her/his emotions and behave in a way which is appealing to all.
