AHMEDABAD: She owns Rs 15 lakh worth of gold, a flat in Naroda and drives a Rs 10 lakh SUV, but on Monday, the nomination of Krina Patel, the Congress candidate from the Singarva seat for the Ahmedabad district panchayat, was rejected as her house in Kanbha village does not have a toilet. During scrutiny of her form, her rivals in the BJP objected to the fact that she had “lied” in her affidavit that stated that she had a toilet at her home in Kanbha, from where she filed her nomination.
Krina, 47, had attached her voter ID card stating her address as 504, Patel Vas, Kanbha-II in Daskroi taluka. Komal Patel, the returning officer for Daskroi told TOI, “During scrutiny, a BJP member and their candidate objected saying Congress candidate Krina Patel did not have a toilet at her residence in Kambha.”
