Bjp Denies Ticket To Assam Leader

Denying firebrand leader Himanta Biswa Sarma a Lok Sabha ticket is not the only surprise to be pulled by the BJP in Assam this election season. The party, which is eyeing maximum gain from the state in the upcoming polls, has dropped five of its seven sitting parliamentarians in an attempt to counter anti-incumbency.

The BJP has denied tickets to three sitting veteran parliamentarians in Assam and included four new faces, the deputy speaker of the assembly and a state minister in its first list of candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
