Imphal, February 09 2022:
Scrutiny at the Imphal East DC office was halted for a considerable amount of time after certain disputes erupted between candidates.
Later, all the nomination papers submitted by candidates from Imphal East were approved by the RO.
Works Minister and BJP Thongju AC candidate Th Biswajit complained that the nomination papers of INC candidate Seram Neken were erroneous.
As per the complainant, the affidavit submitted by Seram Neken doesn't incorporate the signature of Notary Officer or Oath Commissioner.
In another instance, BJP candidate in Khundrakpam AC Thangjam Mohendro raised a complaint against the sitting MLA of the AC Thokchom Lokeshwar to the RO, citing that the latter has a case pending against him for concealing his real name and residence.
The RO rejected the complaint after the sitting MLA produced his documents.
Khurai AC MLA Leisangthem Susindro Meitei also charged that the affidavit submitted by NPP candidate Laitonjam Jayananda was incomplete and erroneous and hence demanded rejection.
The RO, however, approved the papers of all the seven candidates from Khurai AC .
