Dehradun, Jan 25 (PTI) At a time when the BJP is busy pacifying leaders denied ticket for the Uttarakhand Assembly polls, Yamkeshwar MLA Ritu Khanduri said for her the party is paramount and the decision of not fielding her must have a good reason.
The party has gambled on Renu Bisht in place of Khanduri from Yamkeshwar this time.
