Infighting within BJP over RS nominations

BJP's support to businessman Anshuman Mishra, an independent candidate contesting from Jharkhand and denial of a renomination to senior leader SS Ahluwalia has intensified the turf war within the party. Former finance minister and outspoken BJP leader Yashwant Sinha has alleged Mishra has bought his nomination to the parliament. Party president Nitin Gadkari has come under fire for handing out a ticket to Mishra.
