She was insulted by the elders in the party when she took up the matter with them, she maintained.
Another woman member from Ward 47 also raised similar issue and alleged that no norms are being adopted, it is just pick and choose in the party. She said the required parameters are being ignored.
State BJP woman wing president, Rajni Sethi also expressed strong resentment and alleged that many old and deserving woman party members have been denied tickets. All the parameters fixed by the party high command were set aside. Being their representative, she would take up the issue with the party high command in Delhi, Sethi maintained.
