In the wake of reports that several party workers including top leaders of the Congress party are looking to join the BJP ahead of the Lok Sabha elections next year, Assam Minister Pijush Hazarika said there are no vacancies in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for political leaders from other parties seeking tickets for the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
The minister, however, said that people who want to join the BJP without any aspiration for election tickets can come and join the party.
Speaking to the media, Assam Minister Pijush Hazarika said, “Many leaders from the Congress party are expected to join us very soon. There are no open seats in the BJP or any of its allies, including the AGP, UPPL, and Gana Sakti parties. We already have MLAs and MPs on the seats, and we also have plausible candidates where there is a gap, so dealing with such persons seeking tickets is unnecessary. Our party is running out of room. Those who desire to work for the state and the people but are dissatisfied with the Congress party are welcome to join us.”
