A former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA burst into tears during an interview after he was denied a party ticket from Haryana. In a video, Shashi Ranjan Parmar was asked about his name being excluded from the candidate list for the upcoming Haryana Assembly elections. Mr Parmar presented his claim for a BJP candidature from Bhiwani and Tosham in the state. "I had thought that my name would be on the list..," the leader said before choking and breaking down.
