New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on October 23 dismissed as totally wrong, reports that "Dream
Girl" and Rajya Sabha member Hema Malini was being pitted by the party in the ensuing Delhi Assembly
polls.
Party president M Venkaiah Naidu told reporters there was no truth in reports that Hema Malini would be
BJP candidate for the prestigious Gole Market Assembly constituency, held by Chief Minister Sheila
Dixit.
Naidu said after becoming Rajya Sabha member recently, why should she contest an Assembly seat.
The BJP president also denied reports that the election committee of BJP in Rajasthan had left the
selection of candidates to the Prime Minister.
"These reports are totally wrong and misinformed," he said, adding that while Madhya Pradesh list would
be finalised by the election committee on November 3, Chattisgarh would be completed on November 4
and Rajasthan on November 5.
Naidu also released the names of candidates for eight Assembly seats in Mizoram.
