Thanks for all your cooperation. It is a request to the media and well-wishers, please do not call now, I will keep giving whatever information is available here, perhaps I do not wish to talk for some time.
On the cancellation of nomination, Shyam Rangeela said, ‘Many people like me, who were contesting elections for the first time, would not have known about it. In such a situation, it should be the job of the election officials to tell us which documents are to be submitted. The officials did not say anything. Just took four receipts, the deposit slip and sent us out. After coming out, we felt that our nomination had been done. When I showed it to my lawyer, he did express some concern but the time written in it was that amendments can be submitted till 11 am on 14th May. We ran away in the night but did not get any help. Got in line in the morning. The turn came by 5 pm.
