Rahul Singh is twenty sixth Congress MLA to have resigned since March and joined the BJP.
Rahul Singh joined the BJP on Sunday, hours after resigning as a Congress legislator in Madhya Pradesh, dealing one other jolt to the social gathering eight days forward of the byelection to twenty-eight seats.
Claiming Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan had created a “positive atmosphere” in Madhya Pradesh, the previous MLA from Damoh instructed reporters right here, “In the 15 months of the Congress government, there was neither development in my region nor did Kamal Nath pay any heed to our demands.”
Mr. Singh took the social gathering’s membership at its Bhopal workplace in the presence of Mr. Chouhan and State BJP president V.D. Sharma, changing into the twenty sixth Congress MLA to have resigned since March and joined the BJP thereby bringing down the Congress energy in the 230-member Assembly to 87.
“He had resigned on Friday but I had asked him to reconsider his decision,” stated State Vidhan Sabha pro-tem Speaker Rameshwar Sharma. “Singh ji called me last night (on Saturday) saying he was sure about it and wanted his resignation to be accepted on the auspicious day today.”
“Another MLA was sold to mama’s (reference to Mr. Chouhan) black earnings,” Rajya Sabha MP Digvijaya Singh wrote in Hindi on Twitter. “It seems mama will fill more sold-out Congress traitors in the BJP than its real workers. I pity those honest Sangh and BJP workers who have led BJP until now. Where is Jayant Malaiya ji?”
Of the 28 seats up for contest, 25 had been vacated owing to resignations of Congress MLAs whereas three had been vacated by deaths of sitting legislators.
