Congress Indore Candidate

The Congress candidate's decision to withdraw played a major role in the landslide victory of the BJP's Shankar Lalwani from the Indore Lok Sabha constituency, Madhya Pradesh minister Kailash Vijayvargiya on Wednesday.

Taking a dig at the Congress over its Indore Lok Sabha seat candidate withdrawing from the fray at the last moment, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has said it was not his party's fault if the "bridegroom fled before the wedding".

Jolted by its Indore Lok Sabha candidate withdrawing its nomination and then rubbing salt in its wounds by joining the BJP, the Congress is now banking on the NOTA - none of the above - option to "teach a lesson" to the ruling party.

A sessions court here on Friday issued an arrest warrant against local businessman Akshay Bam and his father in a 17-year-old attempt to murder case.

Former Congress candidate from Indore Lok Sabha constituency, Akshay Kanti Bam, on Sunday, claimed non-cooperation by the party organisation for his campaign forced him to opt out of the poll race.

The Congress, ejected from the contest after its Indore candidate joined the BJP, is appealing to voters to press the 'None Of The Above' (NOTA) option, a move slammed by the ruling party as negative tactics.

Days after his dramatic withdrawal of the nomination as the Congress candidate from Indore Lok Sabha seat, Akshay Kanti Bam has rejected allegations that he joined BJP as part of a "deal".

The abrupt exit of the Congress's Indore candidate Akshay Kanti Bam for the Lok Sabha elections has left the party wondering why he took that step.

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.
