Just four days before polling, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) candidate from Raipur Lok Sabha seat Khilesh Kumar Sahu has extended his support to Congress candidate Pramod Dubey. Talking to mediapersons at Congress state party office Rajiv Bhawan, BSP candidate Khilesh Kumar Sahu said that he has decided to extend his support to Congress candidate Pramod Dubey in the elections. Sahu said that he liked the works of Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel led Congress government and so he is willing to join Congress.

 

 

“I have lack of party workers and fund. I have not got any fund from the BSP for the elections. All the workers of the BSP have gone to Janjgir-Champa Lok Sabha constituency for campaigning of BSP candidate Dauram Ratnakar,” he said. Congress candidate Pramod Dubey expressed happiness after BSP candidate Khilesh Kumar Sahu announced to support him in the election.

 

 

“I have become stronger after getting support of BSP candidate in the elections. Now I can easily win the election,” stated Pramod Dubey. Senior Congress leader and Raipur Rural MLA Satyanarayan Sharma said that BSP candidate Khilesh Kumar Sahu willingly supported the Congress candidate and the party accepted his decision. Satyanarayan Sharma said that the party now has only accepted his support to the Congress candidate and his joining the party will be decided at a later stage. After discussion with President of Chhattisgarh Pradesh Congress Committee Bhupesh Baghel, the party will take final decision on his entry into the party fold, the MLA added.
