Earlier on January 29 speaking to India Today NE, the former state BJP President Ranajoy Deb claimed that there is a loophole in the selection of candidates following which revolt started among party workers in many places.

“I don’t know how they have selected candidates for the election but as the reports published in newspapers, it seems they have maintained the system of selection of candidates. But there were no such changes in the candidates' list but fielded some controversial candidates in some assembly elections following which a revolt started among BJP workers which proved there was some loophole in the selection process. But in selecting candidates there were several surveys by different teams of BJP but there are loopholes which led to this revolt”, he said.
