After scrutiny of the 492 sets of nominations filed by 358 candidates for the first of the two-phase Lok Sabha polls in Karnataka, polling for which will be held on April 26, the Election Commission has rejected 60 nominations.
The scrutiny of the nominations filed by 34 candidates in Bengaluru South has been adjourned to Saturday, April 6. Sources said this is due to a dispute over an organisation named All India Hindu Mahasabha claiming to be a political party. With objections raised over the organisation nominating an official candidate, the organisation has sought time to furnish further documents to prove its claim, sources said.
