“Mahendrajeet Singh Malviya would have never got ticket form Congress”
Reacting to the exit of Malviya, Congress state president Govind Singh Dotasara said that there will be no impact of Malviya's exit from the party.
“In fact party will strengthen with his exit. He was indulged in anti party activities. He knew that he will not get ticket from Congress again. So he decided to move to BJP,” Dotasara said.
Dotasara said that Mahendrajeet Singh Malviya has lost his base and he will never become MLA or MP in life.
“Mahendrajeet Singh Malviya is making excuses. Congress has never objected to Ram Mandir. Malviya is just making excuses,” he said.
