LS polls: Its candidate gone to BJP, Congress urges voters to hit NOTA in Indore
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. Akshay Kanti Bam, who had been pitted against BJP's sitting MP Shankar Lalwani, shocked the grand old party on Monday, which was the last day for withdrawal of nomination, after he pulled out of the race and switched over to the saffron party.
The Indore constituency in Madhya Pradesh will go to polls on May 13 in the fourth phase of the general elections.
«Voters of Indore had delivered a huge victory to the BJP in the last municipal and assembly elections. In spite of it, the saffron party murdered democracy by unfairly luring Bam. Voters must give a befitting reply to BJP by hitting NOTA,» senior Congress leader Shobha Ojha told PTI on Thursday.
MP Congress chief Jitu Patwari had said on Tuesday that his party won't support any candidate, adding that voters had NOTA option to punish the BJP.
