Mysuru: With only a few days (till Apr. 24) left for filing nomination papers, 12 candidates filed their papers yesterday in Mysuru indicating that the process has picked up pace. While some candidates took out huge processions to mark the event, others performed special pujas at temples. There were also candidates who neither went on a procession nor visited temples but quietly reached the offices of their respective Returning Officers (RO) and filed the papers.
The nomination filing event of Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) Abdul Majid from Narasimharaja Constituency was the centre of attraction yesterday. Majid and thousands of his supporters visited Srirangapatna and paid his respects to the tomb of Tipu Sultan. Later, he arrived in the city and took out a huge procession and garlanded the statue of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar at FTS Circle. He filed his papers at Chamundi Vihar Stadium at the office of the Returning Officer.
