Petition Challenges Datia Congress MLA's Election Over Alleged Affidavit Omission
A petition filed by BJP leader Deepak Belpatri in the Madhya Pradesh High Court accuses Congress MLA Ghanshyam Singh of concealing a 1991 criminal case in his election affidavit during the recent Datia assembly bypoll. Singh, who won by over 6,000 votes, disclosed two other cases but omitted this one related to a protest following Rajiv Gandhi's assassination. Singh called the petition a conspiracy and said he was not officially informed. The court is expected to hear the matter next week.
