After losing ministry, Bharati announces Ganga padyatra

Days after she was shunted out of the water resources ministry, Union minister Uma Bharti said on Tuesday it was not because she had failed in implementing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pet 'Namami Gange' project. Bharti trashed speculation that she was shifted to the low-profile drinking water and sanitation ministry as Modi was unhappy with her performance, saying he had "chided" her only twice in three years "for being fat" and no other reason.
