Besides being one of the most colourful and controversial politicians on the Indian public stage, Uma Bharati packs a special punch as a backward caste leader. The former chief minister of Madhya Pradesh spoke on her recent troubles in the party and her expectations from the BJP's central leadership. Excerpts:
Have you really reached some sort of understanding with the BJP high command in Delhi? Is that why you are calling off your "show of strength" in Bhopal and proceeding to Bihar to join the election campaign?
During the latest episode, you were seen as having targeted the RSS because you attacked senior Sangh leader Suresh Soni. Are you really targeting the Sangh?

Is it true that many of your party colleagues in Delhi are scared of you?
What do you think of the perception that Advaniji is backing you?

Do you believe you were tricked out of the MP chief ministership by your own party leadership?
Do you believe the BJP does not have the capacity to treat its OBC leaders fairly? Were you and Kalyan Singh earlier cut to size because of the power you could wield within a party dominated by upper castes?
