In a surprise development, Uma Bharti on Thursday quit Bharatiya Janashakti, a party she had founded and was heading after being sacked from BJP in 2005. <br/><br/>The resignation came amid speculation that the firebrand Hindutva leader could return to BJP, especially considering the readiness of new party chief Nitin Gadkari to allow re-entry of some popular leaders. In a letter to party's acting president Sanghpriya Gautam, Bharti said she is resigning from the party in view of the political situation in the country and her state of health. <br/>
