While talking to KNB , Amin said , “I am saddened to know about the form that has been submitted in my name that too not from my ward but from another ward. Every person in my area thought that I have filed form of Sarpanch which I have not. After knowing about this from my friends And neighbors I went to DC Office to cancel my form but they refused to do so saying that the last day is over. I am really upset and in stress.”
While expressing his grief about this he further added, “I am a poor man and work hard everyday to survive and have no link and interest in Politics at all.”
Meanwhile, many videos are circulated on social networking sites in which people are claiming that they haven’t submitted any form but are being informed that you have submitted a form and that is totally baseless.” They are confused about this process and are demanding clarity in this matter .

However , Panchayat elections is on the row which started from 17 November and will end on 11 December. The first phase of panchayat election is already over and results were declared . Two mainstream political parties , PDP and NC stayed away from the electoral exercise due to the legal challenge to Article 35-A of the Constitution in the Supreme Court. (KNB)
