Comedian Shyam Rangeela's nomination rejected in Varanasi

Shyam Rangeela, a comedian known for his PM Modi impersonations, had his nomination for the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat rejected due to a missing affidavit, sources say. Despite his efforts since May 10, he faced administrative hurdles. On May 14, he filed his nomination and posted a video on X, but the next day, the Election Commission of India's website showed his nomination was rejected. Congress leader Surendra Rajput accused the administration of obstruction. PM Modi seeks a third term in Varanasi, with 14 candidates in the fray.
