Serious allegations have been made against Rajkot Municipal Corporation BJP corporator Shailesh Vasani for contesting the election on the basis of a fake OBC certificate. According to a report by Sandesh, Salimbhai Kariyani has revealed details in this regard before the media. Salimbhai alleges that Shailesh Vasani prepared bogus documents by violating legal provisions in order to acquire power. Even though these documents did not bear the signatures of competent authorities, they were attached to the election form.
Regarding this entire alleged documentary scam, Salimbhai Kariyani has registered a formal written complaint before the Election Commission of India. In this complaint, he has demanded that Shailesh Vasani be disqualified from the post of corporator with immediate effect. A demand has been made that appropriate and prompt action be taken by the administrative machinery and the Election Commission in this matter.
The complainant has further warned that if concrete steps are not taken promptly in this matter, he is also fully prepared to take this legal fight up to the Gujarat High Court. Due to these allegations, intense discussions have sparked in the political circles of Rajkot.
Municipal corporation elections are held in a democratic manner, in which elected representatives formulate policies for the development of the city. Members of various political parties get elected to this body and register their participation in the administrative functions of the city.
