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.
