In a double setback for the Congress party, Akshay Bam, its Indore Lok Sabha candidate, withdraws from the race and joins the BJP ahead of the fourth phase of elections on May 13. The announcement was made by senior BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya, highlighting Bam's defection to the ruling party. This marks the second loss for Congress within days, with a similar incident occurring in Surat last week. District Collector Ashish Singh confirms Bam's withdrawal, along with two other candidates, following proper procedure. Local Congress leaders express disappointment and criticize the decision to field Bam.
