Bhopal, Dec 4 (IANS): Close on the heels of Union Minister Sushma Swaraj announcing her decision not to contest the next Lok Sabha polls, Central Minister Uma Bharti on Tuesday said she too would not join the 2019 election fray.

Uma Bharti told the media that although she had decided not to contest the parliamentary elections, she was not taking 'sanyas' from active politics yet.

"I'll start work for the construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya and for the cause of holy Ganga from January 1," she said.

Uma Bharti now represents Jhansi-Lalitpur constituency in Parliament and is the Cabinet Minister for Drinking Water and Sanitation. Prior to that, she was Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh.

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, an MP from Vidisha in Madhya Pradesh, has already declared she would not be contesting the upcoming Lok Sabha election.

    Sushma & Uma were the strictest critics of Modi. Sushma was against anointing Modi as PM candidate in Goa & Uma openly walked out of BJP during past NDA rule. Besides, they were side tracked and now wonder they do not want to contest.

    Union Minister for Drinking Water and Sanitation, Uma Bharti Uma Bharti who was one of the most prominent faces of the Ram temple movement in the nineties.
    After seeing the reality of Union Minister Anant Kumar demise and suffering of proud Karsevak like former Defence Minister and now Chief Minister Manohar Parikar both suffered from advanced pancreatic cancer she may be retrospecting.
    Once she called PM Modi 'Vinash Purush' is made Union Minister who was in charge of cleaning 'Gangas'. Now even after spending more than Rs4000 crores in four years, Holy Gangas remains the same.
    Sushma Swaraj who is surviving on donor Kidneys has already announced her retirement from politics. Now Uma Bharti too, citing her knee and back problems said that she will take rest for three years but will keep campaigning for the party.
    But slowly BJP's sinking ship one by one is jumping to save their lives.
