Ex- BJP MLA Joins Congress Along With Supporters in MP

Deccan Chronicle  

Bhopal: Former BJP MLA from Narmadapuram in Madhya Pradesh Girija Shankar Sharma on Sunday joined Congress along with his supporters. Mr Sharma who represented Narmadapuram assembly constituency twice in 2003 and 2008 assembly elections quit BJP nine days ago alleging his marginalisation in the party. His brother Sita Saran Sharma had replaced him as a BJP candidate in Narmadapuram in 2008 assembly polls and won the seat. Sources said that his decision to join Congress was a ploy by the Sharma family to put pressure on the BJP leadership to retain Sitasaran Sharam in the seat in the year-end assembly polls.
