Indore, April 29: Congress candidate from Indore Lok Sabha seat Akshay Kanti Bam withdrew his nomination on the last day today. He has also joined the BJP, marking a major blow to the Congress party.

This move is considered a big setback for Congress, similar to the political drama in Surat. Prior to this, Congress candidate Nilesh Kumbhani’s nomination from Surat was cancelled. Following this, the Congress disciplinary committee suspended Nilesh’s primary membership for six years. The disciplinary committee held Nilesh Kumbhani responsible for the cancellation of his nomination from the Surat Lok Sabha seat.
