On the day of scrutiny of nominations for the Phase-III of polls which will be held on 23 April, the Returning Officer of Kokrajhar Lok Sabha Constituency rejected 3 out of a total number of 12 nominations.

"Paresh Boro has been rejected as he has not submitted the security money of Rs. 12,500. Moreover, he submitted a blank affidavit. Mun Kumar Basumatary gave all necessary things but left many blank columns in the affidavit. Kamala Kanta Daimary did not fulfill the conditions required to contest the election from the Constituency", said the Returning Officer Partha Pratim Mazumdar.

It may be mentioned that all the high-profile candidates, including BPF's Pramila Rani Brahma, UPPL's Urkhao Gwra Brahma, Congress' Sabda Ram Rabha and sitting MP Naba 'Hira' Sarania all cleared the scrutiny process.
