BJP asked me to withdraw candidature, says former RSS man; ruling party calls claim fictional
Abhay Jain on Monday said some BJP leaders had requested him to withdraw his candidature from Indore Lok Sabha seat in Madhya Pradesh, a claim dismissed by the ruling party as «fictional» and «publicity driven».
Incidentally, Jain had contested the 2023 assembly polls from Indore-1 against BJP heavyweight (and eventual winner) Kailash Vijayvargiya and had lost his deposit.
Jain is contesting the Lok Sabha poll as an independent since his Janhit Party, an umbrella body of former RSS pracharaks, is yet to get recognition from the Election Commission.
Addressing media at Indore Press Club, Jain, who claimed he was contesting the elections to free Indore of drugs and politics of «money and muscle power», said four BJP leaders had come to meet him at his residence late night on April 27.
