Nagpur: Congress candidate Rajendra Mulak, contesting the Assembly election from Kamptee constituency, received a shot in the arm when an Independent candidate Suresh Bhoyar withdrew his candidature and declared full support to Mulak. Bhoyar withdrew his candidature on Tuesday just a day before the last date of withdrawal of nomination papers.
Talking to media, Bhoyar, himself a Congressman, said, “Following directives of Congress High Command, I am withdrawing my candidature from Kamptee constituency and declaring full support to Rajendra Mulak. I and my hundreds of supporters would throw our might behind Mulak for his big victory in the election,” said Bhoyar.
With the withdrawal of candidature by Bhoyar, the political equations have changed dramatically and created panic in BJP camp. “Mulak’s victory will bring a new hope for development of Kamptee constituency,” said Bhoyar. Mulak personally thanked Bhoyar and welcomed his move. “Bhoyar’s withdrawal will be a slap in the face of communal parties like BJP,” said Mulak.
