SR

Ending suspense over ticket distribution for the Assembly polls, Delhi BJP president Vijay Goel on Thursday confirmed that the party would repeat the sitting MlAs. At the same time, he said, the BJP would ensure adequate representation to all sections of the society while finalising the list of candidates that would be announced after Diwali.

“The party tickets for the Delhi Assembly polls will be announced after Diwali. The sitting MlAs, having a good track record, will be repeated. The party will give representation to all sections of society in ticket distribution," Goel said. He, however, said winnability of the candidate would be the top-most priority along with clean image. "Good work at the grassroot level, clean image, commitment for the party and ability to win are some of the main criteria for selection. The party is confident of winning two-thirds majority in Delhi," Goel added. He claimed the BJP is fully geared up for the Assembly polls. "Recently, the BJP undertook 'Ghar Ghar BJP' mass contact programme, which achieved great success. The party has formulated 32-member teams at each of the 11,763 polling booths. All 14 district units and 280 mandals are continuously engaged in the mass contact programmes through door-to-door campaigning, public meetings, interactions with RWAs etc. They have been provided with publicity material for sharing party's vision for development and progress of Delhi," the BJP president said.
