Trinamool Congress has registered a complaint against wrestler Khali - also known by his real name Dalip Singh Rana - being part of BJP candidate Anupam Hazra's campaign in Kolkata's Jadavpur.

TMC wrote a letter to election Election Commision and has alleged that Khali campaigned for Hazra despite being an American citizen. The letter reads, "Mr Rana is not an Indian citizen and holds citizenship under the United States of America. Therefore, a foreigner should not be allowed to influence the minds of the Indian electors as he has little or no knowledge as to who should be an appropriate MP in India.

The  letter further reads, "The BJP is using Mr Rana's celebrity status to misguide Indian voters." The allegation in the letter makes no mention of how foreign nationals were a part of campaigning of TMC's own candidates.
