Uma Bharti was speaking at a rally at Pichhore in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district in support of BJP candidate and Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia. "This country is not going to recover soon. You will have to give a lot of time to (prime minister Narendra) Modi, because the problems plaguing the country have very deep roots. These problems are from the time of Mohammad Ghori. These are from the time of Mahmud Ghaznavi. These are from the Mughal period. These are from the British period," Bharti told the gathering. The Mughals and British left, but the Congress leaders who succeeded them after 1947 shared their characteristics, she said.
