Rita Bahuguna said, “I welcome the decision of the party that there will not be two tickets in a family, but many people have got it. I have already announced that I will not contest 2024 elections. I have written to the party president that I give up my seat now and Mayank Joshi deserves it. I have worked in this seat for 12 years and he has worked here so that he can get a ticket.
She said, “I have clearly told the party that if my son gets a ticket, I will give up the seat and I am not leaving the party and will continue to work as a BJP worker.”
Please tell that Rita Bahuguna Joshi is a BJP MP. He left the Congress party and joined BJP. Apart from Rita, the names of BJP MP Jagdambika Pal, Union Minister Kaushal Kishor and Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya are also included in the list of seeking tickets for their sons in BJP.
