As the senior leader vented out his emotion, a crowd gathered about him causing a chaos in the area.
A footage of his tantrums went viral on social media with many online debating alleged corruption in sharing the seats.
Shah alleged he was denied ticket for not paying money pointing to Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Yadav, claiming that Yadav had “brokered” the seat for cash, thus giving the Madhuban seat to Dr Santosh Kushwaha.
‘The party has ignored honest and hardworking workers like me. They are now prioritising those with deep pockets,’ Shah said.
