The nomination papers of Meera Yadav, the Samajwadi Party (SP) candidate for the Lok Sabha election from Madhya Pradesh’s Khajuraho, were rejected by the returning officer, officials said on April 5.
Ms. Yadav was fielded by the SP after replacing Manoj Yadav who was earlier given the ticket to contest the seat, which has been given to the Akhilesh Yadav-led party as part of its seat sharing arrangement with the Congress in the INDIA coalition.
The BJP has fielded its State unit president and sitting MP V.D. Sharma from the seat.
