6 months ago 10

In a big setback to Congress, its Lok Sabha candidate from Indore, Akshay Bam, dropped out of the race and joined BJP, just days before the constituency goes to polls. Accompanied by BJP MLA Ramesh Mendola, he visited the Collector's office to retract his candidacy.

Congress had pitted Mr Bam against the incumbent BJP MP of Indore Shankar Lalwani. Voting for the Indore parliamentary constituency will take place in the fourth phase of the ongoing elections on May 13.

Senior BJP leader and state cabinet minister Kailash Vijayvargiya extended a warm welcome to Mr Bam in a post on X.

"Congress Lok Sabha candidate from Indore Akshay Kanti Bam is welcome in the BJP under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, party national president JP Nadda, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and state president VD Sharma," he said in the post.
