Negi, a former forest department employee, said he got premature retirement and submitted a no dues certificate from the department along with his nomination papers before the election officer. However, he was given a day’s time to submit no dues certificates from the electricity, water and telephone departments and even when he submitted them, the election officer did not accept them and cancelled the nomination papers. He argued that if his papers had been accepted, he could have won the election and said Kangana’s election should be cancelled.
