BJP's objection on Sonia Gandhi's nomination papers rejected
The election officer has rejected the objection filed regarding the nomination papers of Sonia Gandhi in the Rajya Sabha elections. An objection was lodged in the Assembly on Friday by the BJP on the issue of not having complete information about Sonia Gandhi's ancestral property located in Italy in the affidavit. After this, PCC President Govind Singh Dotasara presented an errata on behalf of Sonia Gandhi. Accepting this, Election Officer Mahavir Prasad Sharma rejected the objection lodged by BJP.
After the objection was rejected, State Congress President Govind Singh Dotasara said outside the Assembly, Sonia Gandhi has been an MP for five times. Every time she has been giving information about her ancestral property in the same way. It is necessary to give information about property in the affidavit. Which was given by him. But BJP has a habit of making news. Therefore, today, on the basis of the slip from above, objection was lodged on the nomination of Sonia Gandhi. Which has been rejected by the election officer.
Actually, this objection was lodged by advocate Yogendra Singh Tanwar, election agent of BJP candidate Chunnilal Garasia. On his behalf, it was said that in the affidavit, Sonia Gandhi has only stated that she has ancestral property in Italy. In which city of Italy is that property located? What is its size? What is its estimated market value? All this information was not given in the affidavit.
