New Delhi: Delhi unit chief Satish Upadhyay's Angry supporters shouted slogans and staged a sit-in protest against outside Delhi BJP office on Tuesday after the top leadership denied a ticket to him.
Upadhyay, on his part, tried to pacify them but the unrelenting supporters kept on shouting slogans against the leadership and demanded that he be fielded from Mehrauli constituency, considered a stronghold of BJP.
The BJP leader, who had earlier indicated his willingness to fight the polls, said he voluntarily opted out to focus on campaigning in the entire city.
"I want to contest on all the 70 seats. I want to focus on entire Delhi and that is why I am not contesting. BJP workers want the party to win and this is their feeling.
"These are momentary issues. We want the party to win under Kiran Bedi's leadership. We have to oust Arvind Kejriwal. I am a worker of the party and it is my responsibility to make BJP victorious," Upadhyay told his supporters.
"This is not the time to protest but we hae to work very hard to ensure we get a clear majority in Delhi," Upadhyay said.
He said he has decided himself not to contest the elections. "It is my own decision. The Parliamentary Board asked me and I conveyed them my decision."
