LUCKNOW: BJP on Sunday revoked the candidature of Sangeeta Senger, wife of expelled BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Senger, for the forthcoming panchayat elections in Uttar Pradesh. Kuldeep Senger was convicted of raping a minor in Unnao one and half years ago.
The development came three days after Sangeeta’s name was announced as BJP’s official candidate to contest the zila panchayat polls from Unnao. Although panchayat elections are not held on party symbols, BJP released the list of its official candidates for the first time.
Announcing the decision, UP BJP chief Swatantra Dev Singh said the district unit had been asked to send a panel of three names to the state headquarters soon.
