A BJP leader has been elected as district secretary of Congress party's youth wing in Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur, Hindustan Times has reported.
As per the report the BJP leader Harshit Singhai is a supporter of Jyotiraditya Scindia and had quit the Congress nine months back along with Scindia.
He then was slated to contest the elections for the Youth Congress district secretary post but purportedly did not withdraw his nomination papers. The elections subsequently took place from 10 to 12 December.
Following his victory, Singhai spoke to media persons, "The most laughable is the fact that no one was interested in the polls and I was elected general secretary. I left the Congress on 10 March with Scindia-ji. I filled in my nomination for the Youth Congress polls three years ago".
The MP Youth Congress election coordinator Maqsood Mirza on the other hand has called it a cheap publicity stunt and has claimed that a total of 1,800 workers had filed their nominations for the election, which was held online. He added that nobody paid much attention as Singhai purportedly was not a popular leader.
