False affidavit row: Former Jharsuguda MLA Dipali Das moves Odisha High Court praying disqualification of BJP MLA

Cuttack, July 13: Former Jharsuguda MLA Dipali Das on Thursday moved the Orissa High Court based on an alleged false affidavit submitted during nomination by the elected MLA Tankadhar Tripathy.

Das in her petition, has prayed for disqualification of the election of BJP candidate Tankadhar Tripathy from the constituency.

The petition cites that BJP candidate Tripathy had filed a false affidavit while submitting his nomination papers before the Assembly elections in Odisha.

“The BJP candidate had not mentioned his criminal anecdotes and the criminal cases pending against him in the affidavit submitted to chief electoral officer of the state. It is a sheer violation of the People’s Representation Act. Thus, his election as MLA Jharsuguda should be declared null and void, ''Das pleaded in the petition.

Earlier, Dipali had submitted a petition before the Election Commission of India (ECI) for EVM/VVPAT memory verification in her constituency. The Commission had also acknowledged the petition and allowed for checking and verification of 13 polling stations in Jharsuguda.

Worth mentioning, Dipali lost the recent elections to Tripathy by 1,333 votes. Following this, she alleged irregularity in the polling process and moved ECI in this connection.
