As per report bharatiya janata party (BJP) and congress sparred over mallikarjun Kharge’s “absence” inside the chamber where priyanka gandhi filed her nomination papers for wayanad by-poll on Wednesday. While the bjp alleged that Kharge was made to stand outside the room as “he is not family”, the congress explained that Kharge only followed the instructions of the district Magistrate, according to which only 5 people could stay inside the chamber, and by abiding to his directions, the congress President “helped the DM”.
Meanwhile bjp leader and former union minister Rajeev chandrasekhar shared a video on X in which Kharge, the congress President, was seen stationed outside a room whose door was ajar. Captioning the post, he claimed that the visuals are of the time when priyanka gandhi was filing her nomination papers and was not allowed to enter the chamber as “he is not family”.
Furthermore he alleged that Kharge “sacrificed” dignity at the altar of “arrogance” of the gandhi family. AICC Secretary Pranav Jha was quick to respond to the former minister’s allegations stating that Kharge stood outside the door only to abide by the DM’s instructions. wayanad will go to by-poll on november 13 and the results will be announced on november 23.
