Delhi High Court Dismisses AAP Leader's Challenge to BJP's 2025 Assembly Win

The Delhi High Court dismissed AAP leader Somnath Bharti's petition challenging BJP's Satish Upadhyay's 2025 Assembly election win from Malviya Nagar. Bharti alleged corrupt practices by Upadhyay, including using agents to transport voters, and claimed a coordinated strategy involving Congress candidate Jitender Kumar Kochar to divide secular votes. The court ruled the petition was invalid due to Bharti's failure to include Kochar as a necessary party, citing this as a fundamental legal defect under the Representation of the People Act.
