# Notice to BJP MP for duties he no longer holds 2026-08-14T21:33:46+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Jodhpur district election officer Ashish Kumar Mishra issued a notice to BJP MP Manna Lal Rawat for failing to update employee records on a government portal, unaware that Rawat had resigned from that transport department post in 2024 to contest elections, the Times of India reports. The notice was withdrawn the next day after social media ridicule. Rawat confirmed the officer called to apologise. The error exposed that election authorities still listed Rawat as a government employee nearly three years after his resignation, raising questions about data maintenance in the state's digital systems. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: BJP, Jodhpur, Lok Sabha, Manna Lal Rawat, transport department, Zila Parishad Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/notice-to-bjp-mp-for-duties-he-no-longer-holds/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
