Unhappy over ticket distribution, Congress state secretary Saleem Bhati and four other office bearers today quit the party to join BJP in poll-bound Rajasthan.
Bhati, expressing displeasure over ticket distribution, alleged that Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi's formula in candidate selection and ticket distribution was ignored by the party leaders.
He alleged that Congress denied ticket to the minority community for a seat in Bikaner so he decided to quit.
Bhati along with Shyam Tanwar, Kailash Goyal, Peer Amin Shah, Narayan Singh joined the primary membership of BJP in the presence of BJP leader and MLA Devi Singh Bhati.
