Advocate Pramila Nesargi, representing the petitioner, argued that Priyank Kharge, who contested as a Congress party candidate from Chittapur constituency in the last Assembly election, had submitted a false caste certificate.
She further alleged that Kharge had also provided caste and income certificates from 2021, which are proofs submitted for gram panchayat elections, instead of an SC caste certificate. The petitioner's advocate accused Kharge of submitting false documents related to his educational qualifications as well.
Based on these allegations, the petitioner has approached the High Court with a request to invalidate Priyank Kharge's election.
