Interestingly, Rajya Sabha member K Laxman, who has represented the constituency twice, has been indicating that the party should give the ticket to his close aide. Gandhinagar BJP corporator A Pavani Vinay Kumar too has applied for the Musheerabad seat, indicating that it will not be easy for Vijayalakshmi to get the ticket.
Meanwhile, party sources said a total of 3,223 applications were received in six days. A majority of people have applied from more than one constituency creating problems for the selection committee.
