NEW DELHI: BJP's blues over tickets for its top guns deepened on Sunday with sitting Lucknow MP Lalji Tandon signalling his reluctance to vacate the seat for party president Rajnath Singh, saying he would do so only for PM candidate Narendra Modi.

Asked what he would do if Singh wanted to shift to Lucknow, Tandon said, "As I said, I will readily vacate it for Modi and I have no idea about what anybody else wants. Nobody has spoken to me yet." He was speaking against the backdrop of indications that Singh may shift from Ghaziabad to Lucknow.

Tandon's comments came on a day when senior party leader Murli Manohar Joshi kept up pressure on the BJP brass to re-nominate him from Varanasi by saying the leadership would not take any decision which would hurt the image of the party or its PM candidate Narendra Modi.
