New Delhi, March 21 (IANS) The BJP Friday denied a ticket from Barmer to senior leader Jaswant Singh, making former Congress leader Sonaram Choudhary its official candidate from the Kok Sabha constituency in Rajasthan.
An addendum to the 6th list of candidates released by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Friday announced Choudhary as party's Barmer candidate.
According to sources, he got the ticket on recommendation of Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje.
