Meera Deepnarayan Yadav, the Samajwadi Party's candidate for the Khajuraho Lok Sabha seat, has had her nomination form denied. The decision was made by Suresh Kumar Mishra, the Panna District Election Officer, because the nominee form was not signed and the previous list was posted. Prospective SP candidate Meera Yadav is getting ready to challenge the annulment of the nomination before the High Court.
Deepnarayan Yadav, the spouse of Meera Yadav and a former MLA, informed us that our form has been canceled. There were two errors highlighted in the form. The original voter list's certified copy is outdated. The fact that there is just one sign rather than two locations is the second disadvantage.
He said that even though we requested a copy on April 2nd, it wasn't received until April 3rd. The certified copy, which was not accessible in this case, was attached. Please let us know if the copy seems poor. After that, we would give you the copy. Had we communicated about the missing items yesterday, we would have had time to finish it. We will now proceed to the Election Commission, High Court, and Supreme Court.
Manoj Yadav's ticket was cut by the SP, and Meira Yadav was chosen as its nominee.
Manoj Yadav was the SP's previous choice for the Khajuraho seat. Manoj Yadav's ticket was sliced two days later, and Meira Yadav was declared the winner. On April 4, the final day to submit a nomination for the second phase, he had done so.
As part of the alliance, let us inform you that the Congress left the Khajuraho seat for the SP. VD Sharma, the state president of the BJP and a serving MP, has been nominated by the BJP to represent Khajuraho. On April 26, there will be a second wave of voting for the Khajuraho seat.
This justifies the rejection of the collector form.
Media representatives were summoned to the meeting venue by Suresh Kumar, the Panna collector and returning officer for the Khajuraho Lok Sabha seat, where it was forbidden to use cellphones and cameras. The collector provided two justifications for rejecting the SP candidate's nomination paperwork. He said that Meira Yadav, the SP candidate, had neglected to include the validated voter list with her nomination form. Two locations on the form did not have signatures.
Who is Meira Yadav, the candidate nominated by the SP?
In 2008, Meira Yadav won the Niwari assembly seat on an SP ticket, making her an MLA. She then lost the same seat in the assembly elections three times: in 2013, 2018, and 2023. Her spouse, Deepnarayan Yadav, has served as the Garautha seat's MLA three times in Uttar Pradesh.
The Khajuraho-based SP candidate Meera Yadav's nomination was turned down: Not included in the form are necessary documents; Meera Yadav is getting ready to appear before High Court
