Former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s niece Karuna Shukla, who quit BJP and joined Congress recently, on Sunday said the era of veteran leaders like Vajpayee and L K Advani in the saffron party has ended.
Shukla, a former Lok Sabha MP, resigned from BJP in October last year, alleging she was being “continuously neglected” by senior leaders. “The era of Atal Bihari Vajpayee and L K Advani in the BJP has come to an end,” 63-year-old Shukla told PTI.The BJP is now being run by a group of individuals including Narendra Modi, Rajnath Singh and some others, she claimed.
Shukla, who had a 32-year-long association with BJP, said it was a very painful decision for her to leave the party for which she had worked from the ward to the national level.

In the 2009 Lok Sabha elections, Congress won only one seat from Chhattisgarh, but Shukla expressed confidence that this time the party will win at least four seats.
