BENGALURU: Karnataka BJP president BY Vijayendra on Friday firmly opposed MLAs demanding free IPL tickets, asserting that legislators must not seek special privileges that distance them from citizens. I am opposed to this idea of legislators asking IPL tickets,” Vijayendra said. Youth Congress former national president BV Srinivas said, “Who started the discussion on MLAs being denied IPL tickets inside the Assembly? It was BJP’s LoP R Ashoka, not Congress.’’BJP’s Bangalore South MP Tejasvi Surya said MLAs should not receive tickets as a privilege. Bangalore South MP Tejasvi Surya has taken a photograph out of context and made an observation without common sense.”
