The New Indian Express
|May 06, 2024
FORMER Lok Sabha speaker and senior BJP leader Sumitra Mahajan has expressed surprise over the withdrawal of nomination by Congress candidate Akshay Kanti Bam from Indore Lok Sabha seat, embarrassing the ruling party.
Mahajan (81), who won the Indore seat for the BJP eight times in a row between 1989 and 2014, informed about getting phone calls from prominent people of Indore, who are saying they will vote for NOTA and not the BJP on May 13.
"I was surprised, unable to understand till now why it happened. In my 35 years of electoral politics in Indore, never has such an incident happened. Our candidate and MP was poised to win the seat by a big margin. Then what was the need for it to happen?" Mahajan told reporters in Indore.
