Congress, India's "grand old party", fell victim to an embarassing mistake in Madhya Pradesh, whereby the party "elected" an ex-Congress member, currently in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s ranks, for a Youth Congress post in the state.
Harshit Singhai, now a BJP worker, was left startled on this day when he received congratulatory messages over his "election" to a new post as the secretary of the Jabalpur unit of the Youth Congress.
Singhai had left the Congress back in March, along with a group of defectors who followed veteran leader Jyotiraditya Scindia's footsteps and switched camps over from the Congress to the BJP.
