Delhi, 17 October (H.S.): The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday announced its candidate for the upcoming by-election for the Anta assembly seat in Rajasthan.The party has nominated Morpal Suman, who currently serves as the Pradhan (head) of the Baran Panchayat Samiti, to contest the seat.

Polling for the by-election is scheduled for November 11, with the results set to be declared on November 14.The by-election was necessitated after the disqualification of the sitting MLA, Kanwarlal Meena, following his conviction in a 20-year-old criminal case.

Meena's membership in the legislative assembly was terminated in May. His conviction stems from an incident two decades ago in which he allegedly brandished a pistol at a Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM).

According to electoral rules, a by-election must be conducted within six months of a seat becoming vacant.
