Ex-BSF man's nomination cancelled in Varanasi


Varanasi, May 1 (IANS): The Election Commission has cancelled the nomination of former Border Security Force trooper Tej Bahadur Yadav, who was set to contest from the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Tej Bahadur Yadav was served a notice on Tuesday because he had given different reasons for leaving his job in the two sets of nomination papers filed -- one as an independent and the second as a Samajwadi Party candidate.

The former security personnel told reporters that his nomination papers were cancelled at the behest of the Centre even though he had replied to the notice explaining the difference in reasons.

As soon as the news of the cancellation spread, Samajwadi Party workers gathered at the Collectorate.

    Here Mr T.N. Sheshan is sourly missed. Feku is shivering in his boots . He has conceded defeat even before the elections. In 2014 , people were so disgusted that they would have voted a lamp post as a P.M. But now after that Feku showed his true colours. He has reduced the economy and done nothing except for the foreign Jaunts . He has asked the Income tax dept to see that only the opposition has been targeted. 2 R.B.I chiefs have resigned . No accountability. Adani and the Ambanis are having a free run, all the way to the banks to get more loans and are making merry , What a sad state of affairs. How have the mighty fallen. What a shame. Chowkidar chor hain

    I thought Chor Chowkidar is scared of Rahul Gandhi only, now he is scared of real Chowkidar also. Chowkidar word itself become a nightmare for Modi. That is why with the help of our corrupt, spineless, useless caged parrot Election Commission he cancelled his nomination. Till Tej Bahadur was an Independent candidate, EC didn't had any problem because they thought his candidature will not have any major impact. The time SP supported him as their candidate, Modi became nervous and realized that it is going to be difficult to win. Because, he saw giant killer Kanaihya Kumar in Tej Bahadur. What a shame to BJP supporters, that they have a coward leader and unfortunately he is India's PM. Shame on you Modi and all BJP supporters.
    See Indians what is going on. And you people still chant Modi Modi.
    Finally Chowkidar sirf Chor hi nahi hai, bal ki Dar Puk bhi hai.

    Such a messed-up election no one must have witnessed in the last 72 years ! Modi wants to win again at any cost, for that he will eliminate any worthy candidate in opposition.

    Under Modi led BJP rule, with a seemingly rubber stamp EC, we have one soldier who got dismissed for his complained on food quality, his nomination gets rejected, whereas, an terror accused who was put behind bars put by then BJP led Govt., because NIA, provided irrfutable evidences, gets suddenly free from jail, her nomination gets the nod.

    Wait for the day the sun going in reverse direction and moon's duty.
