Here it is to be noted that talking about it, Uma told the reporters that it was an emotional moment. Earlier, there were speculations of 'tensions' between the two. To be noted that only recently, Uma Bharti had urged people to not compare her with Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur and called herself 'an ordinary and foolish creature'. Uma was asked if Thakur would take her place in Madhya Pradesh politics, to which she had replied saying, "She is a great saint, don`t compare me with her, I am just an ordinary and foolish creature."
However, it is worth mention here that Uma had earlier announced to not contest the Lok Sabha election saying that she wants to spend time on the bank of River Ganga. To be noted that BJP has fielded Malegaon-accused Thakur against Congress heavyweight and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh from Bhopal parliamentary seat. Voting in Bhopal will take place on May 12 and the counting of votes will take place on May 23.
