"I am not unhappy with the way tickets have been given," (in the assembly elections) he told reporters in brief remarks.

He was asked about Alva's attack on the party that tickets were sold during the Karnataka assembly elections and her questioning the denial of ticket to her son Nivedit in the elections.
