Supreme Court to Hear Somnath Bharti's Challenge to Satish Upadhyay's 2025 Election Win
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear AAP leader Somnath Bharti's plea challenging the election of BJP's Satish Upadhyay from Malviya Nagar in the 2025 Delhi Assembly polls. Bharti lost by 2,131 votes and alleges corrupt practices and a strategy to divide secular votes. The Delhi High Court dismissed his petition due to a procedural defect involving the non-inclusion of Congress candidate Jitender Kumar Kochar as a respondent. The apex court will now examine the matter.
