The Congress party faced significant setbacks as their candidate from Indore, Akshay Bam, defected to the BJP amidst the Lok Sabha Elections 2024. This event marked another loss for Congress following a similar incident in Surat. Concurrently, the Delhi Congress Chief resigned, adding to the internal turmoil. The defection has stirred controversy within the party, with some members expressing their dissatisfaction. Meanwhile, the political discourse is intensifying around the issue of reservation quotas, with the BJP and Congress accusing each other of manipulating the reservation system for electoral gains. The BJP alleges that Congress is reallocating SC, ST, OBC quotas for Muslim appeasement, while Congress claims the BJP aims to secure 400 seats to end these quotas.
