Did She Really Say That?

A warning before the link. The link points to a pretty gory story. Threats of slaying kin, of making someone lie on a bed of arrows. Hints about dead bodies lying around unattended, attracting vultures and dogs. Best avoided. But if you decide to go ahead, pay attention to this excerpt from the article
"...I even risked my life to ensure BJP’s victory and now when it is time to enjoy the fruits of victory, I have been sidelined”, she said.
Uma Bharti. Enjoy the fruits of victory? What are the fruits of victory? The ability to serve the people who elected her? To change the lives of any stray disadvantaged people still left in the country/state? Hope that is what she is referring to, though I'm not too optimistic about it. The statement has a certain air to it that does not inspire, and the word 'enjoy' is a cause of acute worry.
