BJP president Amit Shah and Union Water Resources Minister Uma Bharti on Friday called on Mohan Bhagwat and other top RSS functionaries in Kutch, Gujarat where the organisation is holding a workshop for pracharaks.
Mr. Shah’s meeting with the Sangh supremo Mohan Bhagwant and RSS general secretary Bhaiyyaji Joshi assumes significance, as he has emerged as the prime target of BJP veterans led by L.K. Advani, who have launched a scathing attack on the party leadership following its disastrous performance in the Bihar Assembly polls.

Ms. Bharti also spent the entire day with Mr. Bhagwat and Mr. Joshi and other pracharaks gathered at a Swaminarayan Gurukul in Mandvi town of Kutch district.
