Two Congress candidates for the March 26 Rajya Sabha elections from Madhya Pradesh, Digvijaya Singh and Phool Singh Baraiya, on Monday filed written objections against BJP nominees Scindia and Sumer Singh Solanki, seeking that their nomination papers be rejected on certain grounds.
I have asked representatives of both BJP candidates (Scindia and Solanki) to come to my office at 10am (on Tuesday) to give replies to the written objections. After that I will take a call on their nomination papers, A P Singh told PTI.
A P Singh, the MP assembly's principal secretary, is the returning officer for the Rajya Sabha polls.
