He submitted his nomination on May 2nd, stating in his affidavit that he holds no land, house, gold, or vehicle.

Additionally, he holds cash of Rs. 20,500, a life insurance policy worth Rs. 1,60,000 and a bond worth Rs. 48,000 in Indian Bank.

He had no remarkable movable and immovable property until the 2019 Lok Sabha election, nor has he added any more property in the last 5 years. His movable and immovable properties are almost nil.
