Chandigarh: Expressing his dissatisfaction over ticket distribution in the party ahead of crucial Punajb assembly elections, state BJP unit president and Cabinet minister Vijay Sampla reportedly offered to resign from both the posts.
Sampla, who is MoS for Social Justice and Empowerment, sent his resignation letter to BJP president Amit Shah but the party high command has not accepted it yet.
Sampla was reportedly upset as BJP ignored his suggestions regarding the selection of a particular candidate for the Fagwara constituency.
