11 out of 14 mayors will not get ticket
BJP has also started brainstorming on the names of the mayoral candidates of the party. If party sources are to be believed, tickets of 11 out of 14 mayoral candidates, including Lucknow, will be cut. It is said that churning is being done at the BJP headquarters on the report card of the current mayors.
While BJP has decided to change 11 of its 14 mayoral candidates, BJP's maths for the mayor has been spoiled due to the reservation of seats in some places. On the other hand, in some places, the age of the mayor's candidate and the report card of the mayor could lead to the cutting of the ticket. There are only three mayors who can be fielded again.
