Neelam Kumari Withdraws Nomination in Jalore Municipal Election, Calls for Process Cancellation

The Jalore municipal council election for Ward 35 saw independent candidate Neelam Kumari withdraw her nomination on the final day of the filing period. The candidate, who had campaigned on local development issues, filed a formal notice of withdrawal with the returning officer. In a statement released after the withdrawal, Kumari demanded that the election process be cancelled, claiming that she was coerced into pulling out her candidacy under pressure from unknown parties. Election officials have yet to respond to the demand, and the status of the ward’s election remains uncertain.
