Uttar Pradesh polls: BJP says turncoats not promised tickets for coming elections

Lucknow: In a bid to assuage party workers feeling threatened by turncoats joining BJP before the coming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, state BJP chief Keshav Prasad Maurya on Tuesday said none have been promised party tickets.

All those who have joined BJP from parties like BSP and Samajwadi Party have not been promised party tickets for the coming poll...they have come expressing faith in the party's policies and working of Prime Minister Narendra Modi," Maurya told PTI in an interview.

"Names of winnable candidates will be taken into consideration but it is wrong to think that all those joining BJP will get tickets," Maurya said.

"I want to tell party workers that BJP will safeguard the honour of its core worker at all cost," he said.

Maurya said since his party is pro-worker, they have a lot of aspirations and expectations.

"As we have true democracy in the party it is not expected that an MLA's son will end up being an MLA or an MP's son will become an MP," he said, adding any worker can aspire to reach any of the posts in his party.

"There are too many applications for tickets for the coming polls, but I believe that disciplined BJP workers will accept all decisions the day they are taken," he said.
