BJP jolted as Solapur MP's caste certificate found 'fake'/'invalid'

India TV News  

In a severe jolt to the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Maharashtra government's caste validity committee on Monday rejected the caste certificate submitted along with the election affidavit by BJP's Solapur MP Jaisiddheshwar Shivacharya Swami, raising a question mark over his continuing as a Lok Sabha member. Last June, following a complaint lodged by the Prakash Ambedkar-led Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi leader Pramod R. Gaikwad and two others, Vinayak B. Kandkure and Milind M. Mule, questioning Swami's election affidavit, the committee had slapped a show cause notice on the Swami. In his complaint, Gaikwad alleged that the Swami had submitted a fraudulent caste certificate in his election affidavit for the Solapur seat which is reserved for the SC community. VBA President Ambedkar had said that if the caste certificate case is proved correct, then his party would knock the doors of the EC, demanding Swami should be disqualified and fresh elections must be conducted for Solapur Lok Sabha seat.
