Supreme Court Dismisses Meenakshi Natarajan's Plea Against Rajya Sabha Nomination Rejection
Congress leader Meenakshi Natarajan's Rajya Sabha nomination from Madhya Pradesh was rejected by the Returning Officer over alleged non-disclosure of a pending criminal complaint in Telangana. The Supreme Court dismissed her plea challenging this rejection, citing Article 329 of the Constitution, and directed her to seek remedy through the Election Commission or file an election petition after the polls. Congress has protested the decision, alleging bias and double standards by the Election Commission and BJP, while BJP candidates were declared elected unopposed.
