Patna, Mar 23 (UNI) The ruling BJP on Saturday denied tickets to sitting party MP from Patna Sahib Shatrughan Sinha even as union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad would contest election from the prestigious constituency instead of him.

The name of actor-turned-politician Sinha who had won from Patna Sahib on BJP ticket in 2009 and 2014 Lok Sabha elections did not figure in the list.
