Vijayvargiya says he did not seek ticket for his son

BJP national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya said Thursday that he had nothing to do with the party's decision to field his son Akash Vijayvargiya from Indore-3 Assembly seat.

Madhya Pradesh is going to the polls on November 28.

Talking to reporters here, Vijayvargiya said, "Perhaps nobody will believe it, but I never asked our president Amit Shah to give ticket to my son. It was the party's decision. I welcome it."
Talking about his reported tussle with Indore MP and Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan over ticket distribution, he said, "There is no conflict between us. I can not even think of winning any fight with Taai (as Mahajan is known), because she is our senior leader and we obey her word."
