Congress Prepares to Take Legal Stand After Meenakshi Natarajan's Rajya Sabha Nomination Rejection

After the rejection of the nomination of Indian National Congress candidate Meenakshi Natarajan for the Rajya Sabha elections in Madhya Pradesh, the party is now preparing to take a legal stand. According to sources, if Meenakshi Natarajan does not get relief after the decision regarding the application before the Election Commission of India, the party can move the Indore bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court. According to sources, Rajya Sabha MP and lawyer Vivek Tankha and his team are preparing to move the Indore High Court in the case of the rejection of Meenakshi Natarajan's Rajya Sabha nomination. Abhishek Manu Singhvi's legal team and the All India Congress Committee have also strategized on legal options in this matter. Significantly, the elections to three Rajya Sabha seats in Madhya Pradesh took a dramatic turn on Tuesday, June 9, when the nomination of Congress candidate Meenakshi Natarajan was canceled on the charge of concealing information in the affidavit. The Congress alleged that it was no longer a case of'vote theft'but'seat theft '. Arvind Sharma, the election officer of the Rajya Sabha, said that after the'nomination form 26'was made available in the form, the nomination form was found to be'stolen '.
