Arunachal: Kiren Rijiju urges leaders who were denied tickets not to fight elections against BJP

Kiren Rijiju, the Union Minister from Arunachal Pradesh, has appealed to the leaders who were not allotted tickets by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) not to contest elections against the party. He urged them to maintain unity and work for the party's success instead.

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju who is also a BJP candidate for the Arunachal West Lok Sabha seat, said that every leader will be given responsibilities once the BJP forms the government. 

Speaking to the media, the Union Minister said, "The BJP leaders who haven't got tickets after applying, the party wants to appeal to them not to fight against the BJP, but support the official candidate. The ticket is not decided by one but it's the party who decides and for us everyone is equal, the candidate who has got a ticket and also who hasn't."
