New Delhi, June 13: There is no move to bring back to party former BJP leader and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Kalyan Singh who is of late in the forefront of forging opposition unity in the state. "There is no further move to bring him (Kalyan Singh) back into the party," party sources said here today.
Singh, who had been critical of Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee after the Lok Sabha elections in 1999, was expelled from the party and had formed the Rashtriya Kranti Party (RKP) and is now aligning with Samajwadi Party and Rashtriya Lok Dal in Uttar Pradesh. A couple of months ago, two BJP leaders Balbir Punj and Dinanath Mishra had reportedly made efforts to bring Singh back into the party. However, Singh's caustic remarks against the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani had dashed any hopes of his return. Bureau Report
