Four candidates move Gujarat HC to challenge Assembly poll results

[ad_1]
Ahmedabad: Two candidates each from the BJP and Congress have moved the Gujarat High Court to challenge the state Assembly poll results.
The petitioners — BJP’s Harshad Ribadiya (Visavadar constituency), Hitesh Vasava (Dediyapada) and Congress candidates Lalit Kagathara (Tankara) and Raghu Desai from Radhanpur constituency — common grievances are that winning candidates have either left many subjects unfilled or concealed some important information from the Election Commission.
They alleged that such candidates’ nomination forms should have been rejected by the returning officer, which did not happen.
In his plea, former Congress MLA Lalit Kagathara said that BJP’s candidate and now MLA Durlabhji Devariya had not given details about his educational qualification, there is incomplete information about property owned by the candidate, though he owns car, yet he has not declared it in the affidavit. For concealing information, returning office should have rejected his candidature.
Whereas BJP Harshad Ribadiya’s grievance is that AAP’s elected MLA Bhupat Bhayani is facing charges of corruption and trial for siphoning off public money, but he had not disclosed the information while filing candidature, yet, returning officer approved his candidature and post elections, declared him elected.
The petitioners seek to nullify the election results in their respective constituencies.

Majority of New Yorkers want Santos to resign, new poll shows

[ad_1]

The poll is the first large survey on New York voters’ attitudes about Santos, who has refused to step down since a bombshell report in The New York Times in December revealed he had fabricated most of his resume, including his professional background and college education.
Earlier this month, Santos said only the voters could get him to step down.
“I am going to outwork any of the pundits and talking heads that are out there saying I should resign, that I’m unfit for office,” Santos told reporters earlier this month. “When 142 people ask me to resign, I’ll resign.”
He later clarified that he meant to say 142,000 people, a reference to voters in his district.
As more allegations have mounted, some of which he has admitted were exaggerated, Santos has drawn widespread condemnation from within his own party, including Republican officials in Nassau County, who pledged to cut off local support to their colleague in the House.
But House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has largely ignored calls for his resignation because he needs to maintain his slim majority in the chamber.
Santos has received low-level committee assignments, but he also faces a slew of federal and local investigations.

Exiled former Pak PM Nawaz likely to return, lead poll campaign: Minister

[ad_1]
London: In exile since 2019, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) supremo Nawaz Sharif is likely return to Pakistan, Geo News reported, adding that once back, he may chair the party’s parliamentary board for finalising candidates for the upcoming provincial elections in the country.
According to Geo News, the country’s Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah made the remark on Sharif’s return while interacting with the press in London. “Few senior party leaders, including myself, should resign (as ministers) to mobilise our election campaign along with Nawaz Sharif,” the report quoted Sanaullah as saying.
The buzz around Sharif’s return to Pakistan has gained ground amid the dissolution of the provincial assemblies of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Punjab, which were ruled by Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
Geo News quoted Sanaullah as saying that Sharif is likely to address public meetings across the two Punjab provinces upon his return.
Imran had to step down as Prime Minister in April last year after losing a no-confidence vote against him in the National Assembly. According to the Geo News report, Khan has since been stressing fresh elections in the country, claiming that early polls are the only solution to Pakistan’s ongoing economic and political crises.
In another big revelation, Sanaullah claimed Pakistan’s former army chief, General (retired) Qamar Javed Bajwa and ex-intelligence chief Lt Gen (retd) Faiz Hamid have admitted to their ‘wrongs’ in office on Friday, Geo News claimed.
“Nawaz Sharif’s stance has been clear: we were wronged. Now, the ones who wronged us have also admitted to their mistakes,” Geo News quoted Sanaullah as saying.
In a separate conversation with media persons earlier in the day, the Interior minister blamed the former Army and intelligence chiefs for the current ‘mess’ in the country.
