  • | Monday | 7th October, 2024

  In a dramatic turn of events in Cheema village in Barnala district, aspiring sarpanch Niranjan Singh climbed atop a water tank armed with a petrol bottle after his nomination was rejected. Singhs protest against the Punjab Government and District Administration highlighted allegations of political favoritism, claiming that his rivals connections influenced the decision to annul his nomination.   Singh expressed his outrage, stating that he had duly submitted his nomination papers for the sarpanch position. However, the returning officer from Block Shahjna and other officials invalidated his nomination, citing accusations of land encroachment against him. Singh has since filed a sworn affidavit to contest these allegations.   In his protest, Singh demanded that his annulled nomination be reinstated, allowing him to compete in the elections. He vowed to continue his struggle until justice is served, declaring, I will not back down until my rights are restored.
