Union Minister Uma Bharti On Ayodhya 'I Remain Unapologetic And Unrepentant'

It is a hot May afternoon. In the sprawling garden of the Akbar Road residence in New Delhi, a barbet and a cuckoo are engaged in a competition. Their cries pierce into the air-conditioned confines of Union Minister for Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation Uma Bharti’s workroom. The room is spartan, like her. Yet, there are personal touches which break the monotony of the sarkari furniture like handwoven rugs and white, chikan-embroidered cushions. Three Ganesha figurines adorn her desk. A huge statue of Shiva, with the Ganga tumbling tempestuously out of his locks, adorns one corner while a beautiful figurine of Lord Krishna is placed in another.
