Ludhiana: In a major political development in Ludhiana’s Jagraon, the case of AAP MLA’s Husband Nomination Rejected has come to light after the nomination form of Sukhwinder Singh Billa, husband of Aam Aadmi Party MLA Sarabjit Kaur Manuke, was rejected during scrutiny. He had filed his nomination for the post of councillor from Ward No. 1 in the Jagraon Municipal Council elections.
Returning Officer Cites Reservation Rules
During scrutiny of nomination papers, the Returning Officer rejected his nomination. Moreover, officials confirmed that Ward No. 1 reserves the seat for women candidates, which makes a male candidate ineligible to contest from this ward. Therefore, the authorities followed the reservation guidelines while rejecting the nomination.
Returning Officer Confirms Legal Compliance
Returning Officer Ravi Kumar stated that he strictly followed election rules while taking the decision. In addition, he clarified that officials rejected the nomination because a male candidate filed papers from a women-reserved ward. Consequently, the authorities acted as per legal provisions.
Three More Independent Candidates Rejected
Along with this case, authorities also rejected nominations of three independent candidates. For instance, officials found Pradeep Singh from Ward No. 9 underage and rejected his nomination. Similarly, they rejected Sukhmander Singh from Ward No. 11 for not submitting a BC certificate, while they also rejected Manmohan Kaur’s papers from Ward No. 22 due to incomplete documentation.
Conclusion
As a result, the scrutiny process in Jagraon elections has intensified. Meanwhile, candidates and political parties are closely monitoring further developments as the election race becomes more competitive.
