On Monday Congress’s Indore candidate Akshay Kanti Bamb withdrew his nomination and joined the saffron party. The development was confirmed after Madhya Pradesh minister and BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya posted a picture of Bamb and wrote: ‘welcome to the party’.
On April 22 Congress suspended its Surat LS candidate Nilesh Kumbhani for six years, accusing him of negligence with BJP even as he stayed incommunicado and released a video pledging allegiance to the party.
Kumbhani’s nomination was rejected on April 22 after his three proposers claimed their signatures were not theirs. The nomination of Suresh Padsala, his substitute candidate, was also invalidated on the same grounds.
“We welcome Akshay Kanti Bam Ji Congress Lok Sabha candidate from Indore into the BJP under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, national BJP president JP Nadda and state president VD Sharma”, Vijayvargiya posted on his official X (formerly Twitter) account.
