The BJP tried today to deny a revolt within over the induction of Babu Singh Kushwaha. The attempt rang somewhat hollow, given that senior leader Maneka Gandhi spoke freely about the deep resentment within the party in Uttar Pradesh over Mr Kushwaha, a man who is being investigated for presiding over a deeply corrupt ministry. Mr Kushwaha was sacked first as a minister in Mayawati's government and then from her party.
