The nomination form of Rajkumar Lohani, an independent candidate and Congress-backed candidate, was rejected during the scrutiny process at the Madhya Pradesh Assembly on Tuesday. Lohani has not yet received a written decision regarding his rejection. The scrutiny of nomination forms will continue until 5 PM.
Meanwhile, Congress has raised objections to the nomination form of BJP candidate and Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, flagging more than 25 faults. Congress Election Office in-charge J.P. Dhanopia stated that there are significant shortcomings in Puri's nomination form, which is currently on hold pending the resolution of these issues.
Puri had not named his children in the affidavit and declared 750 grams of gold, claiming its price was Rs 40 lakh. However, experts believe the actual price of the gold could be in the crores.
Rahul Kothari was present at the BJP side during the scrutiny of nomination papers. Congress MLA Hemant Katare claimed that Lohani was not given adequate time to respond to the objections. Lohani also mentioned that he did not receive sufficient time to file a reply to the objections raised against his nomination form.
