AAP disowns two fake candidates in Karnataka

Bangalore:  The AAP Sunday disowned two "fake" candidates claiming to represent the party in Karnataka and said Hemant Kumar was its nominee in the Hubli-Dharwad Lok Sabha constituency."As Kumar is an official candidate from Hubli-Dharwad,

We do not approve of misrepresentation by anyone or any other unauthorized persons before the election or other state-run authorities," Sharma said.

The AAP learnt about the fake representation when Kumar was told by the returning officer that two candidates had already filed papers on behalf of the AAP.

The constituency in the state's northern region is represented by BJP's two-time winner P. Prahlad Joshi, who has been re-nominated from there for a third time. He is the BJP's state unit president.
