BJP Sweeps Rajya Sabha Seats in MP and Gujarat as Congress Challenges Rejection of Nomination in SC
- Congress leader Meenakshi Natarajan moved the Supreme Court Thursday to challenge the rejection of her Rajya Sabha nomination for the upcoming Madhya Pradesh elections.
- Rajya Sabha Election Returning Officer Arvind Sharma rejected Natarajan's nomination Tuesday after finding an incomplete affidavit omitting a court complaint in Telangana, following a complaint by BJP candidate Mahesh Kewat.
- Senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi argued that candidates must disclose criminal cases carrying a minimum two-year sentence, contending Natarajan only received summons in the Telangana matter.
- The Supreme Court bench comprising Justices Prashant Kumar Mishra and Atul will hear the plea Friday, though the judges questioned the maintainability of the petition during an ongoing electoral process.
- Elections for the Rajya Sabha seats in Madhya Pradesh are scheduled for June 18, with the bench suggesting that filing an election petition remains the proper legal recourse.
