Congress takes BJP's Nandigram bypoll candidate to court over qualification dispute
The opposition party has raised legal questions about the eligibility of the BJP's chosen candidate ahead of the October 6 vote.
Congress has moved court to challenge the qualifications of the BJP's candidate for the upcoming Nandigram bypoll, raising questions serious enough to prompt legal intervention before polling day.
The opposition party's challenge centres on the candidate's declared educational credentials, with Congress suggesting the timeline of the qualification is implausible — framing the dispute with the pointed question of whether someone could have passed a Class 10 examination before they were born.
The Nandigram bypoll is scheduled for October 6, with campaigning set to conclude on October 4. Counting of votes will take place on October 9.
