BJP Denies Udit Raj North West Delhi Ticket, Fields Hans Raj Hans

Raj had said that he will resign from BJP if denied a ticket and may contest on his own from North West Delhi seat.

Hours after expressing his displeasure with the BJP for sidelining him, the party denied Dalit MP Udit Raj the North West Delhi Lok Sabha ticket and decided to field singer Hans Raj Hans.

Raj had early on Tuesday, 23 April, said that he will resign from the party if denied the and may contest independently from the parliamentary seat.

Raj, who is sitting MP from North West Delhi, had said that he will wait for some time for a reply from the party and then file his nomination as an Independent candidate from the seat at 10 am. The time, it seems, has run out for Raj.
