Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Swami Prasad Maurya on Wednesday expressed unhappiness over distribution of tickets by the saffron party.

As per sources, the leader might decide on party affiliation after candidates list is announced.

Maurya has demanded tickets not only for himself, his son and daughter, but also for his supporters, which the party has yet not fulfilled.

It is expected of Maurya, after the announcement of candidates list tomorrow, to come up with a stern decision.

Maurya, former Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) member, joined the BJP around six months back.

BJP Central Election Committee meet is to take place tomorrow at 11 a.m. to finalise remaining list of candidates for Uttar Pradesh & Uttarakhand polls.
