Sacked DTC staff make it dramatic for Aam Aadmi Party

New Delhi: The last day of nominations for the February 8 Assembly elections turned dramatic for the ruling Aam Aadmi Party as close to 30 sacked DTC employees filed their candidature ahead of the Delhi Chief Minister, who waited for close to seven hours to file his nomination with token number 45 in hand.

Kejriwal reached the office of the Returning Officer (RO) to file his nomination from the New Delhi Assembly seat around 12.30 p.m. on Tuesday. However, even at 7 p.m., he was still waiting for his turn.

The Chief Minister was accompanied by his wife and parents along with party leaders Pankaj Gupta and Gopal Mohan. As the clock ticked 3 pm – the deadline for the filing nomination – the anxiety prevailed among the party leaders and volunteers as the party’s chief minister face were yet to file the nominations.

Though the deadline for filing nominations was 3 pm, all those who have been given token would be allowed to submit their papers. (IANS)
