BJP asked me to withdraw candidature, says former RSS man; ruling party calls claim fictional

Former Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh 'pracharak' Abhay Jain has denied that some BJP leaders have requested him to withdraw his Indore Lok Sabha seat in Madhya Pradesh. Jain, who lost his deposit in the 2023 assembly polls, is contesting the Lok Sabha as an independent since his Janhit Party, an umbrella body of former RSS pracharaks, is yet to get recognition from the Election Commission.
