Bhopal/Chhindwara: A bureaucrat who resigned from service and joined the Congress ahead of the 2023 assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh has left the opposition party, alleging betrayal.

Nisha Bangre is a former sub-divisional magistrate of Betul district and has resigned to join Congress to contest from Amla assembly seat in the 2023 elections.

Although he was not given a ticket at that time, he was promised that he would be fielded in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Bangre claimed.

In his resignation letter to Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Jitu Patwari, Bangre, who is a Dalit, said the party had also refused to give ticket to great social reformer Babasaheb Ambedkar.

While speaking in Chhindwara, Bangre accused the then State Congress President Kamnath of betrayal and said that he had insulted Dalit women by not giving them tickets.

Claiming that Nath has not fielded any woman from any assembly seat in his stronghold Chhindwara, Bangre said people will ensure that sitting Congress MP Naku Nath is defeated in the upcoming elections.

"I will campaign against Nath for the next four days. I joined the Congress in Chhindwara and have come here to resign. I will continue to spread the ideology of Dr Ambedkar," she said.

Incidentally, in January, Bangre had written a letter to the state government demanding reinstatement in service.
