Papers of BJP's Nilgiris nominee rejected
In a major jolt, the BJP in Tamil Nadu is set to contest one seat less in the Lok Sabha elections than the eight allotted to it in the alliance, as the nomination of its candidate for the Nilgiris was rejected on Monday.
Chief Electoral Officer Praveen Kumar told in Chennai that once a nomination was rejected there was no provision for appeal in the election laws. The aggrieved party could approach court with an election petition, but only after elections were completed.
Election officials in Chennai said S. Gurumurthy, the BJP's candidate for the Nilgiris (reserved for the SC), failed to attach Forms A and B to his papers on time on April 3, 2014. The documents were mandatory as they carried the authorisation from the party of the candidate.
