A challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's election as MP last year from the Varanasi constituency in Uttar Pradesh was rejected by the Supreme Court today.
A sacked Border Security Force (BSF) jawan Tej Bahadur Yadav, who wanted to contest against PM Modi but failed to after his documents were rejected by the Election Commission, had petitioned the court.
A three-judge bench of Chief Justice SA Bobde, Justice AS Bopanna and Justice V Ramasubramanian dismissed his plea, backing the Allahabad High Court's decision to do so.
The Allahabad High Court had earlier dismissed the dismissed BSF jawan's petition against his nomination papers being rejected by the Election Commission on May 1 last year, ahead of the national election.
