Nomination papers of BJP candidate Surendra Patwa from Bhojpur held; Accusation of hiding information in affidavit

Bhopal:  The nomination papers of BJP candidate Surendra Patwa from Bhojpur, a high profile assembly seat in Raisen district, have been put on hold. On Tuesday, Congress candidate Rajkumar Patel and Sanyam Jain, including Ganesh Malviya, who rebelled against BJP and submitted his nomination, have lodged objections to Patwa’s nomination. He has accused Patwa of hiding some information regarding the criminal case in the affidavit.

In a complaint it is written that, The Election Commission of India wants to conduct fair elections. With this intention he has made rules and regulations. Model code of conduct for elections has also been made. But against the intention of the Commission, it has been openly violated in Bhojpur assembly constituency number 141 of Raisen district. This is a violation of the Election Commission of India Rules 1961.

In the affidavit, BJP candidate from Bhojpur assembly constituency number 141, Surendra Patwa, son of Sundar Lal Patwa, has not given details of his income in the format prescribed by the commission.

 According to the provisions of the Commission, the annual income of five years, movable and immovable assets had to be shown in the affidavit in the format decided by the Commission. But BJP candidate from Bhojpur assembly constituency number 141, Surendra Patwa, son of Sundar Lal Patwa, did not do so. Information related to income of only one financial year has been given. This is against the commission/rules.

501 criminal case is pending against Surendra Patwa, son of Sundar Lal Patwa. But he did not give information about these cases on factual and case number basis.

The criminal case number mentioned in the affidavit by BJP candidate from Bhojpur assembly constituency no. 141, Surendra Patwa, son of Sundar Lal Patwa, is actually registered against other persons and not the candidate. An example of this is case number 7/22. This case is registered in the name of six Congress leaders. Surendra Patwa, BJP candidate from Bhojpur assembly constituency number 141, is not directly or indirectly related to this case, but it was deliberately told so that the cases registered against him remain hidden and do not come before the commission in any form from a legal point of view. These acts and conduct are also criminal.
