Supreme Court Rejects Plea Challenging PM Modi’s Election From Varanasi

Pm Modi ji

Tej Bahadur Yadav, who was sacked from Border Security Force (BSF), wanted to contest against PM Modi but failed to after his documents were rejected.

The apex court has dismissed a challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s election as MP last year from the Varanasi constituency in Uttar Pradesh.

Tej Bahadur Yadav, who was sacked from Border Security Force (BSF), wanted to contest against PM Modi but failed to after his documents were rejected. Yadav had petitioned in the court against PM Modi’s election.

A three-judge bench comprising of Chief Justice SA Bobde, Justice AS Bopanna and Justice V Ramasubramanian delivered the verdict.

The BSF jawan’s petition against the Election Commission’s decision to reject his nomination papers was earlier rejected by the Allahabad High Court.

He had filed his nomination as an independent candidate and later as a candidate of Samajwadi Party from Varanasi constituency, Yadav had argued in the top court. The election commission had rejected his nomination for “extraneous reasons”, he alleged.

In 2017, Tej Bahadur was dismissed from the BSF, after he posted a video online complaining about the quality of food served to frontline troops posted in Jammu and Kashmir.

Headlines: Short of Conceding Defeat, Trump Agrees To Begin Biden Transition To White House

President Donald Trump came his closest yet to admitting election defeat Monday after the government agency meant to ease Joe Biden’s transition into the White House said it was finally lifting its unprecedented block on assistance.
Trump acknowledged it was time for the General Services Administration to “do what needs to be done.”
In the same tweet he insisted that he was still refusing to concede, saying: “Our case STRONGLY continues, we will keep up the good fight, and I believe we will prevail!”
But for the Republican to sign off on the GSA’s decision to work with the Biden transition team signaled that even he sees the writing on the wall after three weeks of evidence-free claims that the November 3 election was stolen from him.
