New Delhi:
In an enormous setback to Congress, its Lok Sabha candidate from Indore, Akshay Bam, dropped out of the race and joined BJP, simply days earlier than the constituency goes to polls. Accompanied by BJP MLA Ramesh Mendola, he visited the Collector’s workplace to retract his candidacy.
Congress had pitted Mr Bam in opposition to the incumbent BJP MP of Indore Shankar Lalwani. Voting for the Indore parliamentary constituency will happen within the fourth section of the continued elections on May 13.
Senior BJP chief and state cupboard minister Kailash Vijayvargiya prolonged a heat welcome to Mr Bam in a submit on X.
