Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot today demanded action against Congress MLA Bhanwarlal Sharma for accusing the party leadership of selling tickets, and said the allegations were "absolutely baseless".
"The allegations levelled by Sharma are absolutely baseless and I condemn it. The party should take action against him," Gehlot told reporters at the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) office here.
Sharma had resigned from all party positions (in All India Congress Committee and PCC) recently and alleged that the party leaders were biased in selecting candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections and were selling tickets.
