The nomination of DMK candidate and Minister Anitha Radhakrishnan from the Tiruchendur constituency has been put on hold during the scrutiny process following a complaint over discrepancies in her educational qualifications.
According to officials, objections were raised regarding contradictory information in the nomination papers concerning Anitha Radhakrishnan’s 10th standard qualification. The complaint alleges that in the affidavit submitted along with the nomination, she stated that he had passed her 10th standard examination, while opposing candidates claim that he had not actually passed it.
The complaint was reportedly filed on behalf of candidates from the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), who flagged the inconsistency in the affidavit and sought action.
Following the objection, the Returning Officer has placed the scrutiny of Anitha Radhakrishnan’s nomination in abeyance. Officials indicated that the nomination will not be immediately cleared or rejected and instead will be taken up for consideration after the scrutiny of all other candidates’ nominations is completed.
The Returning Officer further stated that once the review of other nominations is concluded and results are announced, the complaint regarding Anitha Radhakrishnan’s educational qualification will be examined in detail before a final decision is taken.
