Maha Saga: NCP leader Kakde's nomination stated invalid
Pune: Senior NCP leader and spokesman Ankush Kakde's nomination as the party candidate for a city Assembly seat for October 15 elections was officially declared invalid during scrutiny on Monday.
Kakde's nomination was rejected as he had missed on tagging a mandatory election affidavit to his nomination forms. A close confidant of NCP chief Sharad Pawar, Kakde missed the 3 PM deadline on Saturday -- the last date of filing of nominations -- to submit the affidavit in time after filing his papers. When he returned with the required affidavit, the door of the election office was closed.
