Addressing another issue involving CP Yogeshwar and the Congress party, Kharge clarified that there had been no discussions regarding Yogeshwar's status. He pointed out that during Yogeshwar's recent visit to Delhi, his concerns were not addressed by the BJP high command. "The decision about ticket allocations lies with the BJP. Yogeshwar must make his choice, and our party will then decide its course of action. Anyone who adheres to our party's principles and wishes to join us is welcome. Our only requirement is that they accept our principles," Kharge added.
This statement reflects the ongoing political tension and highlights the controversies surrounding party affiliations and associations with controversial figures.
