BJP's Delhi unit president Vijay Goel Monday said that he never threatened to resign after reports said his rival Harsh Vardhan was the front-runner for the party's chief ministerial candidate in Delhi.
"I never threatened to resign as the media is reporting," Goel told media persons here.
"The decision (to shortlist chief ministerial candidate) will be taken by the party's parliamentary board after holding discussions with all leaders and party workers," he added.
