“Let me say this on record that ,about 70% of prospective aspirant have not gotten the nomination forms which has gingered die hard party members to demonstrate against the barbaric behavior meted out to them by their MP.
The youth is demonstrating to demand the already shared nomination forms for every prospective aspirant to have a copy else we will never allow anybody to file for the nomination .”An aggreved member told this online portal.
It continued that,they will not even allow anybody to sit at the party’s office to receive that fake nomination forms let alone to allow them in to vote at the constituency.
