Nomination of TNCC chief's wife rejected in scrutiny  Chennai:
The nomination of Jayanthi Thankgabalu, wife of TNCC President
KV Thangabalu who is accused of "favouring undeserving" cases in
distribution of Congress tickets for April 13 Assembly polls,
was on Monday rejected in a city constituency during scrutiny.
Thankgabalu, who had filed his papers as a dummy for his wife in
Mylapore constituency, claimed himself as the official
candidate, though the high command had not given him the ticket.
Jayanthi had neither signed the nomination papers nor provided
correct information about her assets and cases pending in court,
resulting in the rejection of her papers, official sources said.
The Election Officer accepted the contention of Sivakami of
Mahila Congress, who filed papers as an independent, that
Jayanthi had not disclosed her position as the Managing Director
of the family-run Tamil channel Mega TV, and undervalued the
market price of land in which a private engineering college run
by her was located
