Noida: Poll aspirant claims Putin as friend, several freedom fighters as his prastavaks

  • 5 years ago
A 36-year-old man seeking to contest assembly election from the Noida assembly seat declared Russian President Vladimir Putin as a friend and Mahatma Gandhi, along with several other freedom fighters and leaders, as his prastavaks (introducers) in his nomination papers. The political journey of the candidate, Vinod Pawar, was, however, cut short with the cancellation of his candidature for not providing substantial information. Pawar was one of the 28 candidates in GB Nagar whose nominations were cancelled.

Besides Mahatma Gandhi, he named Swami Vivekananda, Martin Luther King Junior, B R Ambedkar, APJ Abdul Kalam, Nelson Mandela, Subhash Chandra Bose, Gautam Buddha, Abraham Lincoln and others as 'prastavaks'. Kumar Vineet, GB Nagar's deputy election officer, said an independent candidate needs signatures of 10 'prastavaks' on the affidavit and they must also be voters in the same constituency.
