Shimla, March 10 -- A formal complaint has been filed with the Election Commission of India, the Rajya Sabha (RS) Secretariat, and the returning officer of the Himachal Pradesh Vidhan Sabha against RS member Anurag Sharma, alleging concealment of property details and violation of election rules during the nomination process. The complaint, submitted by advocate Nitasha Katoch of Dharamshala, reads: "In the election affidavit submitted along with his nomination papers did not disclosecomplete details of hisassets, which is mandatory under Section 33 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951." Additionally, the complaint alleged that at the time of filing nomination papers, Sharma was functioning as a government contractor and had PWD contracts worth approximately Rs.16 crore in Kangra district, with some works reportedly still in progress. Katoch has urged for a thorough and impartial inquiry into the matter. Senior BJP spokesperson in Himachal and former Sujanpur MLA Rajendra Rana has sought the intervention of the chief Election Commissioner over the controversy surrounding the RS election from the state. He said serious questions have been raised regarding the issuance of the certificate declaring Congress candidate Anurag Sharma elected, and demanded a high-level inquiry into the matter. In a statement issued on Monday, Rana said, "The affidavit filed by the candidate himself mentions that his primary occupation is that of a government contractor and that he continues to hold several government contracts. These, could constitute grounds for disqualification under the provisions of the Act." Responding to allegations, Sharma said all his financial records were transparent. "All details have already been filed along with the balance sheet and RTI documents. Whatever property I have is inherited. My father was a Class-I contractor and has been earning for the last 40 years," he said. "I am not an unworthy son. If I have inherited property and business from my father, I am taking it forward. All payments come through cheque, GST is paid and taxes are paid properly," Sharma added. With the BJP questioning the description of "crorepati nominee as an ordinary party worker, chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said, "Can't an ordinary worker be a crorepati? Anurag Sharma's property is inherited from his father. It is not wealth earned from politics." "He has been with the organisation since the NSUI days and has worked for nearly 24 years. Those who grow through the organisation are given importance," he said. Taking a swipe at the previous BJP government, Sukhu alleged that large government contracts were given to contractors close to formerchief minister Jai Ram Thakur....
