Bhopal: Stepping up her offensive against the BJP?s top leadership, Uma Bharti asserted on Tuesday she was the "real BJP" and would not accept any disciplinary action taken against her.
The firebrand leader also challenged the BJP and the Sangh Parivar and claimed that she was not afraid of anyone.
"Disciplinary action doesn't mean anything. I am the real BJP and this is the fight for ideology. I am no lamb, I?ll fight like a tiger" Bharti said.
She also took potshots at party chief LK Advani and general secretaries Arun Jaitley and Pramod Mahajan for "violating party discipline".
She asked if the article written against Narendra Modi by Mahajan in BJP Today, the cases being allegedly fought against Gujarat and Rajasthan governments by Jaitley for "huge fees" and the resignation offered by Advani in the wake of the Jinnah episode did not constitute indiscipline.
"The ones who sit in Delhi cannot decide the fate of the Legislature which is elected by the people," she said.
Responding to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's disapproval of her actions at a press conference here, Bharti advised him "not to become the pilot in the cockpit whose flight can be hijacked at gunpoint."
"Bulls can get away with anything and sheep can be herded around. I will not be herded around," she said and dared both Vajpayee and Advani to a debate on the issue of discipline.
Claiming that about 100 MLAs had stood against Chauhan when his name was proposed at the BJP?s legislative party meeting in Bhopal, Bharti said the move is "against democracy, party constitution and the country's constitution".
