If you have been following the RK Nagar by-election updates keenly, the last few hours must have been thoroughly exciting for you. Earlier in the day, it was said that Vishal's nomination paper was rejected. Then Vishal gave a statement saying that he has convinced the RO officers and he will be contesting in the election as planned. Now the latest reports suggest that Vishal is out of contention. Falsified signatures of two proposers named Sumathy and Deepan in his application form is said to be the reason.

Each candidate should have 10 proposers who belong to that constituency. Two proposers of Vishal, have allegedly given their statements to the election commission saying the signatures on Vishal's applications are not theirs.

A disappointed Vishal met the press and blamed his opponents for allegedly stopping him from contesting in the by-election. "Why should they be afraid of me? What do they fear for?" questioned Vishal. He added, "I will not leave this here. I will choose a youngster who has been nominated as an independent candidate. I will try my best to support him and make him win to serve the people of RK Nagar."
