Never took any favour from Vyapam accused, says Dharmendra Pradhan

NEW DELHI: Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan today denied any favour from Vyapam scam accused Sudhir Sharma saying his tickets for visit to Bhopal in May 2010 were procured by the Party.

"I never got tickets from anybody, as a Party General Secretary my tickets were booked by the party headquarters," he said here.

The Congress has demanded Prdahan's resignation following his name allegedly appearing in Vyapam scam accused Sharma's diary with the mention that he got tickets to Bhopal from him.

"All tickets for my Party work were booked by the Party office. I got no tickets from anyone," Pradhan said.
