Senior BJP leader Uma Bharti has sparked a buzz in political circles after she told a community, a core BJP vote bank in Madhya Pradesh, that they should "look around" and decide which party to vote for. The former chief minister, long sidelined by the BJP leadership, was addressing a gathering of Lodhi community, an OBC caste group that wields considerable political influence in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. Ms Bharti belongs to the same community.
