BHOPAL: The conflict within the ruling BJP is surfacing as the ticket distribution for assembly elections are about to be finalised. Sartaj Singh, on Wednesday, reached BJP’s state office and sought ticket from Seoni Malwa. Sartaj said that the party would give him ticket as there was no criterion of age for contesting elections in the party. He had announced not to contest elections, after his removal from the post of minister. Commenting on this issue, Sartaj said those were different conditions but now he wanted to contest elections. On the other hand, former MP Raghunandan Sharma said “Leaders, who have been MLAs for three to four times, should not contest elections and give chance to new faces. Sharma said senior MLAs should make way for the young generation leaders.”
