The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Saturday June 24,2017 disqualified Madhya Pradesh minister Narottam Mishra for filing wrong accounts of election expenditure.
An EC spokesperson confirmed that Mishra had been disqualified for three years from today. His election from the Datia Assembly constituency also stands void.
Rajendra Bharti of the Congress had alleged that Mishra, a close aide of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, had not filed certain details in his election expenditure in the 2008 polls. The EC had served notice to Mishra on January 15, 2013.
Mishra had moved the Madhya Pradesh High Court and the Supreme Court against the EC notice, but did not get any relief.
Finally, the ECI came out with its verdict
