Day before bypoll result, Congress suspends ex-Datia MLA Rajendra Bharti
The suspension comes days after the Congress candidate for the bypoll, Ghanshyam Singh, accused Bharti of trying to sabotage his campaign and colluding with BJP
Just before bypoll outcomes, Congress removes ex-MLA Rajendra Bharti from party's membership. Suspension follows his disqualification from Datia Assembly seat due to bank fraud conviction in April. This came after Bharti's accusation of sabotage in Ghanshyam Singh's campaign and collusion with BJP leader Narottam Mishra, who lost his ticket.
Singh responded by alleging Bharti's support for his rival and funding from BJP. Bharti's son claims Singh is linked with Mishra and received funding from BJP. Bharti and Mishra have been rivals for over a decade, with Bharti ending Mishra’s three-term tenure as Datia MLA in 2023.
