Jaipur, Nov 14 (UNI) Familial ties with prominent leaders also helped several aspirants to get BJP tickets for the December 4 Assembly polls in Rajasthan.
About a dozen, of close relatives of prominent leaders have figured in two lists of 137 candidates announced by the ruling saffron party so far.

She will contest against Gujarat Governor Nawal Kishore Sharma's son Brij Kishore Sharma (Congress).
Similarly, sitting party MP Krishna Lal Valmiki's dauther-in-law got party ticket from Kapasan(SC) and sitting MP Subhash Mehariya's close relative Banshidhar Bajia has been fielded from Khandela in Sikar district. Despite his defeat in the last election, Bajia succeeeded in getting the party's favour.
Former Minister of State Virendra Meena, who had quit the Ministerial post in the wake of Gujjar agitation, has been denied party ticket but his father retired Divisional Railway Manager Rajkumar Meena has been picked up by the party instead from Lalsot constituency.
In the first list too, a number of relatives of prominent political personalities got tickets.
Sitting MP Ramsingh Kaswan's wife Kamla has been allowed to seek her maiden entry to the state legislature from Sadulpur constituency where as former Minister late Sampat Ram's son Dr Jagdish Sampatram has been fielded from Alwar-Rural for his maiden run for.
