As the forms were examined on Wednesday, those of candidates from the Congress, BJP, AAP, NCP (SP), Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and several independents were rejected. According to official data, the highest number of rejected nominations belonged to independent candidates, though major parties were also affected. In the case of NCP (SP), the nomination filed by its candidate Bharat Danani from ward 109 was rejected during scrutiny. One BSP candidate’s nomination was rejected in F-South ward (wards 200 to 206) as the proposer appeared twice on the form. Both BJP candidates from wards 211 and 212 saw their nominations rejected due to incomplete documents and other deficiencies, said officials.
