Patiala, January 31
Nabha Returning Officer Kanu Garg on Monday issued a show-cause notice to Congress candidate Sadhu Singh Dharamsot for holding a roadshow despite a ban. Dharamsot had held a roadshow before filing the nomination papers.
He had held a procession while visiting a temple to pay the obeisance. In a video of the roadshow uploaded by him on the social media, Dharamsot is seen in a convertible Jeep holding a rally with hundreds of supporters, in violation of the Covid guidelines. However, Dharmsot claimed: “I didn’t hold any roadshow. I was going to pay obeisance at a temple. People gathered to greet me when I was on my way to the temple.” —
