Ahead of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s rally in Madhya Pradesh’s Mandla, a flexboard poster put up on the main dias, featured a photograph of Union Minister and BJP candidate Faggan Singh Kulaste along with other Congress leaders.
In a major gaffe by Congress workers, a large banner featuring the BJP candidate’s photograph, was put up at the venue where former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi will hold a rally on Monday for the party’s nominee from Madhya Pradesh’s Mandla Lok Sabha constituency.
The poster which also featured pictures of top Congress leaders, was hastily removed by party workers. The photo of Union minister Faggan Singh Kulaste, the BJP candidate, was replaced with that of Congress leader Harvansh Singh.
In Mandla, grand old party has fielded Omkar Singh Markam against Kulaste; the latter is a seven-term MP from here. Kulaste won the seat in three previous general elections (2009, 2014, 2019) in addition to winning in four consecutive Lok Sabha polls (1996, 1998, 1999, 2004).
