The Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday appointed Union Minister Uma Bharti, who has decided not to contest the Lok Sabha polls, its national vice-president.
Ms. Bharti, who represents Jhansi in the Lok Sabha, was brought in as a senior office-bearer after she conveyed to the BJP leadership her wish not to contest the coming general elections.
The Hindutva leader has said she wants to go on a 18-month-long pilgrimage from May.
