Bhopal | Friday | 19th October, 2018

Summary:

BHOPAL: A WhatsApp post, which claimed to be the leaked draft of Congress candidates' names for 230 assembly segments of MP, went viral on Thursday. BJP state media in-charge, Lokendra Parashar, while reacting to Oza's allegation, said, "Congress should put its own house in order rather than raising accusing finger at the BJP for everything that goes wrong with them." The Congress was quick to term the list as "bogus" and an attempt of BJP's "dirty tricks" department to create confusion among party's rank and file. Some people have time to cater to this curiosity of people and they have social media, where everything you put gets viral but there is no truth in the list." Party's media in-charge Shobha Oza, whose name also figured in the list, clarified that she is not contesting the ensuing assembly election.Interestingly, the list also carried the name of Amrita Rai Singh, wife of Digvjjaya Singh, as Congress candidate from chief minister's constituency Budhni..
