I am quitting politics: Uma Bharti

September 22, 2004 16:03 IST

Bharatiya Janata Party leader and former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Uma Bharti on Wednesday declared that she would quit politics after her 'Tiranga Yatra'.

"Politics is increasingly becoming petty... I have realised that posts are not as important as campaigns for public awakening," she said at a public meeting in Mathura as part of her yatra from Hubli to Jalianwalabagh in Amritsar.

However, she said she would continue with such "public awakening" campaigns.
