"Will expose BJP leaders who brought party to present mess"

NEW DELHI: Former Delhi Chief Minister Madan Lal Khurana on Monday announced that he would expose all Bharatiya Janata Party leaders who had brought the party to the present state of affairs.

Talking to newspersons, Mr. Khurana said he still stood by the Sangh ideology but would never join the BJP under the present leadership. "I will expose all of them who have brought the party to such a pass," he added.

Putting the blame for the decline of the saffron party on the new age leaders who had no mass base and were away from the ground realities, Mr. Khurana also announced the formation of a new outfit, "Bharatiya Jan Mahasangh". Former Delhi Minister Rajendra Gupta would be its chairman and the sitting party MLA Dayanand Chandela general secretary.

Mr. Khurana said it would be a non-political organisation to begin with, but two months before the Municipal Corporation of Delhi elections early next year, it would be converted into a political entity.

Once again targeting former Deputy Prime Minister and BJP leader L.K. Advani, Mr. Khurana said it was Mr. Advani who was responsible for the present ills plaguing the party. Till 1998 the BJP was run like a family, but later under his leadership it was turned into a private limited company.
