NDA-backed Parimal Nathwani’s Rajya Sabha nomination process on hold

According to Congress leaders, their objections were related to alleged discrepancies and non-disclosure of personal information in Nathwani’s nomination papers.

Congress spokesperson Rakesh Sinha told The Indian Express that Nathwani had allegedly failed to disclose details of companies in which he serves as a director. “Our objection is that Parimal Nathwani has not shared certain personal details. He has not mentioned the company in which he is a director,” Sinha said.

He further alleged that there was an inconsistency in the manner in which Nathwani’s name had been mentioned in the nomination papers. “His name is Parimal Nathwani, but the nomination has been filed in the name of ‘Nathwani Parimal’,” Sinha said.

Sinha also claimed that certain personal information, including declarations related to pending cases, had not been adequately disclosed in the nomination documents.

Asked who had filed the objection, Sinha said it was raised by a Congress candidate.

The BJP, however, dismissed the objections as politically motivated and lacking merit. “The objections are baseless,” BJP general secretary Amar Kumar Bauri told The Indian Express.
