The nomination of BSP candidate from Barmer Pankaj Choudhary, an IPS officer who was dismissed form the service last month, was rejected Wednesday for lack of requisite documents, an election official said.
Choudhary said he has decided to challenge the rejection in the high court.
District Election Officer Himanshu Gupta said, "The nomination of BSP candidate Pankaj Choudhary was rejected as it lacked important documents that needed to be enclosed."
Reacting to the development, the 44-year-old alleged his nomination was rejected under a "political conspiracy". "I will challenge the decision in the Rajasthan High Court."
