The situation is still not clear regarding the fate of three ministers of Raje Cabinet on Thursday, who are waiting for party ticket.

According to sources, RSS is not in favour of transport minister Yunus Khan getting a ticket, though Raje wants a ticket for him. This apart the party has denied ticket to Cabinet minister from Alwar district. A meeting of the state BJP's core committee was held on Thursday at CM's residence where names of candidates for remaining 38 seats were discussed.

BJP has announced candidates for 162 seats out of 200 Assembly seats. While announcement for 38 seats is yet to be made, suspense over tickets of transport minister and MLA from Didwana in Nagaur, Yunus Khan, MLA from Thanagaji and GAD Minister Hem Singh Bhadana and Behor MLA and Labour Minister Jaswant Singh Yadav is still on.

According to sources, the tickets of three Cabinet and one state minister may be cut this time. The BJP is not in the mood to give tickets to any Muslim candidate. RSS is also opposed to the name of Didwana MLA Yunus Khan. According to sources, the RSS has told the BJP leadership not to give ticket to Khan as it is in favour of giving ticket to a Hindu candidate.

Similarly, Cabinet ministers Jaswant Singh Yadav and Hem Singh Bhadana may not get the ticket from Alwar district. In the by-election of Alwar Lok Sabha seat, the BJP had to face defeat where Yadav was the party's candidate. Thus it seems very difficult that Yadav will get ticket this time. He is demanding ticket for his son Mohit Yadav from Bahror ticket.

GAD Minister Hem Singh Bhadana has been in controversy due to his son. Party workers are also opposing his candidature. It is believed that this time BJP will not give Bhadana a ticket. In such a situation, he has indicated to contest as a rebel. Bhadana held a meeting with supporters in Thanagaji on Thursday. The ticket to the Diya Kumari, a member of Jaipur royal family and MLA from Sawai Madhopur, is also stuck. Rajya Sabha MP Kirori Lal Meena wants that ticket from Sawai Madhapur be given to one of his own candidate.
