Beleaguered BJD leader and former Mayor of the Brahmapur Municipal Corporation K Madhavi, whose election as a Corporator of the civic body was set aside by a lower court of Ganjam district earlier this week, challenged the proceedings of the lower court in the Orissa High Court here on Friday.
The Ganjam District Judge on Tuesday has annulled the election of Madhavi as a Corporator while disposing of an election petition filed by former Mayor Siba Shankar Das. Consequently, Madhavi lost her Mayoral post as she was no more a member of the civic body council. NotAbly, apart from challenging the election of Madhavi on the ground of submitting a wrong affidavit pertaining to the name of her husband, Das had in his petition also alleged that she by misusing her official power had grabbed a piece of prime land in a posh locality of Brahmampur city.
