She plans to move SC after HC annuls her election as JD(S) corporator
Mayor of Mysuru Rukmini Made Gowda, whose election to the post in February this year had sparked off a political turmoil, has now landed in a legal quandary over disclosure of assets while filing her nomination papers for the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) polls in 2018. With her continuation as the Mayor coming under a cloud after the High Court annulled her election as JD(S) corporator of Ward number 36, Ms. Rukmini Made Gowda is planning to move the Supreme Court questioning the ruling. Her Congress rival Rajani had filed a petition in a local court questioning the sanctity of her election in view of the false affidavit relating to her assets. The District and Sessions Court had ruled against Ms. Rukmini Made Gowda and ordered that Ms. Rajani, who had polled the second highest votes, be declared winner.
