Though his daughter Rohini Khadse was given theticket, she lost the elections, a defeat Khadse blamed asection of BJP leaders for.

Responding to the BJP not considering him and threeother senior leaders for the MLC polls, Khadse said, "I waskeen on getting a ticket and the state working committee wasin favour of it as well. However, the party did not approve ofit".

Khadse alleged that those who had worked against theBJP have been given tickets.
