Senior BJP leader and Maharashtra minister Sudhir Mungantiwar on Saturday said some leaders were not given tickets for the October 21 Assembly polls after a party survey showed anti-incumbency in their constituencies.
In a move that foxed political observers, the BJP declined tickets to several senior leaders including Eknath Khadse (Muktainagar), Vinod Tawde (Borivali, Mumbai) and Chandrashekhar Bawankule (Kamptee).
Without taking names of the trio, Mungantiwar said, "The BJP denied tickets to candidates against whom there was anti-incumbency as per a party survey."
