‘Have moved Delhi High Court today seeking disqualification of @rameshbidhuri as a candidate. He has concealed FIR pending against him. Concealment of a criminal case is serious offence & am sure his nomination will be rejected as soon as Court looks into the matter’, said Raghav Chaddha in a tweet.
He said people should not vote for Ramesh Bidhuri in the Lok Sabha Polls as his nomination will disqualify soon. ‘Only a matter of 30 days I’d say till High Court cancels his candidature. Urge the people of South Delhi Lok Sabha to not waste their vote on a candidate who will be disqualified anyways. He has lied to the people, to EC, but will soon answer to the law’, he said in another tweet.

AAP Nominee from Delhi South in its 60-page writ petition challenged the decision of the returning officer. He has requested the Delhi HC to cancel his nomination and blamed returning Returning Officer of accepting the nomination forms despite having shortcomings.
Chadha in its petition said that Bidhuri has concealed crucial information including pending criminal cases against him. In a 60-page writ petition filed against BJP sitting MP, it is alleged that he has ‘intentionally and deliberately’ concealed.

He also slammed AAP and called it a ‘party of conspirators’.

The party has also alleged him of hiding annual income in the nomination form.
