The Congress has alleged discrepancies in the nomination papers of Parimal Nathwani, the BJP-backed Independent nominee for the Rajya Sabha polls in Jharkhand.
Nathwani, a Rajya Sabha MP from Andhra Pradesh, filed his nomination papers for one of the two Rajya Sabha seats in Jharkhand on Monday.
The returning officer put his nomination on hold and gave him a deadline of 11 am on Wednesday to resolve the objections.
Scrutiny of the nomination papers was held on Tuesday, during which the candidatures of JMM and Congress nominees were found to be valid.
A complaint was lodged with the returning officer by Congress MLA Naman Bixal Kongari, citing errors in Nathwani's nomination papers, including an error in his name.
The last date for withdrawal of nomination is June 11, while the polling will be held on June 18.
