“There is a plan afoot to launch a movement against corruption and I am working on it, but nothing has been concretised yet,” Shekhawat said. Saying that casteism, corruption and money were “undermining the very principles of politics”, he said he took the decision after a meeting in Kota on Monday “where several supporters requested him to take the lead and contest the Lok Sabha elections”.
The BJP was guarded in its reaction to Shekhawat’s statement. “I cannot comment on what Shekhawatji has said as I have not heard his comments,” said party spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad.
