Varanasi: The nomination of former BSF constable and Samajwadi Party candidate Tej Bahadur Yadav, who filed his papers against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Varanasi Lok Sabha constituency, was rejected on Wednesday after he failed to submit a certificate.

The Returning Officer Surendra Singh on Tuesday had issued a notice to Yadav, asking him to submit the certificate of whether or not he was dismissed from the service for corruption or disloyalty to the government.
