Will Inquire delay in filing mandatory forms in Nilgiris: BJP

There were reports that the candidate or those who do not want the party to contest in Nilgiris deliberately delayed submitting the forms so that it can be rejected for the benefit of some other parties.

Senior BJP leaders from Chennai will arrive Coimabtore and Udhagamandalam to inquire the matter, whether the delay was deliberate or candidates were misguided or any other political parties played trick on the official candidates, the sources said.

Moreover, the workers blamed that in-charge of Nilgiris parliamentary constituency was also "unceremoniously" removed from the post making the dissidents to play their trick, thus tarnishing the image of the party.

The in-charge of Nilgiris, who was scheduled to go along with the party candidate to file the paper, was in the last minute asked not to proceed to Udhagamandalam, as he no longer remained in the post.
