Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh on Thursday reacted to former Director-General of Police(DGP) Gupteshwar Pandey being denied ticket to Bihar Assembly polls. Deshmukh said,"Giving an election ticket to Gupteshwar Pandey (former Bihar DGP) is a matter of the party. We had asked whether BJP leaders will campaign for him. It was maybe due to fear of this question that he was not given a ticket."

Former Director-General of Police(DGP) Gupteshwar Pandey was denied assembly ticket on Wednesday said that he has experienced a lot of struggle in his life and is dedicated to the people of Bihar.

Last month, Pandey took voluntary retirement and later joined Nitish Kumar's party. The JD (U) on Wednesday released its list of 115 candidates who will contest the assembly elections in Bihar scheduled to start from October 28. The party has denied tickets to 11 of its sitting MLAs while accommodating the turncoats and name of Gupteshwar Pandey was missing from the list.

Elections to the 243-seat Bihar assembly will be held in three phases--October 28, November 3, and 7, and the counting of votes will take place on November 10.
