Congress leader Surendra Rajput supported Shyam Rangeela, emphasizing that everyone, including Prime Minister Modi, has the right to file nominations. Rajput claimed that the administration was not providing Rangeela with the necessary nomination papers.
“Everyone is free to file a nomination including PM Modi. However, other people are not allowed to file their nominations from the constituency. A YouTuber named (Shyam) Rangeela, who wished to file a nomination from Varanasi, isn’t getting nomination papers from the administration. Why is PM Modi afraid of people? Let them contest against you,” said Rajput.
