Udupi Feb 25: Sunil Kumar, BJP candidate for the upcoming Udupi-Chikmagalur Lok Sabha bypoll, submitted his nomination at the DC office here on Saturday February 25.
However, the nomination was a 'dummy' one, and the actual nomination would be filed on February 29, sources said.
The 'dummy' nomination was filed on Saturday due to astrological reasons, it is learnt.
Media persons who had gathered at the DC office were not allowed inside. Usually, the media is allowed whenever a candidate files nomination, but on Saturday, DC Dr M T Reju did not permit the media inside. A disppointed group of reporters and photographers protested against the move.
Sunil Kumar was accompanied by his family members and RSS leader Somashekar Bhat.
