The Congress and the Samajwadi Party extended their support to R.B. Prajapati, the All India Forward Bloc candidate on April 15. He is contesting for Madhya Pradesh’s Khajuraho seat where the nomination of the Samajwadi Party’s INDIA bloc candidate was rejected over irregularities.
Congress general secretary (Communications) Jairam Ramesh said that Mr. Prajapati will be the official candidate of the INDIA coalition.
“The Indian National Congress had left the Khajuraho Lok Sabha seat to its INDIA group ally Samajwadi Party. Unfortunately, in a blatant display of power going against all norms of democracy, the BJP managed to get the nomination of the SP candidate rejected,” he said.
