Mysuru: Following the complaint by BJP candidate A Manju with the Election Commission, claiming that candidate for the Hassan Lok Sabha seat, Prajwal Revanna had not furnished the actual details of his assets in the affidavit, the chief electoral officer has written to the deputy commissioner of Hassan district, who is also the returning officer, seeking clarification on the details provided in the affidavit submitted by Prajwal.
As per Manju’s complaint, Prajwal had furnished false information in the affidavit, submitted during nominations for the elections.
Speaking on the issue JD(S) election agent advocate Malali Jayaram said, “The allegation is politically motivated. The election process is over. Once the returning officer accepts the nomination papers, there is no provision in law to cancel it.”
“The complainant can question it in the court. We have given clarification to the Election Commission several times. The BJP candidate’s claim is unnecessary. Moreover, it is not even possible to stay the election results,” he added.
