However, Congress has challenged the Returning Officer’s decision of canceling the nomination of Meenakshi Natarajan in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court will hear this matter tomorrow i.e. on Friday. Senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for Meenakshi Natarajan, had requested the court to hear the petition immediately, but the court has asked it to be heard tomorrow. It is noteworthy that elections are to be held on 26 Rajya Sabha seats in 12 states on June 18. A total of 28 candidates are in the fray in this election.

Considering the numerical strength in Madhya Pradesh, BJP was winning two seats and Congress was winning one seat. In this context, Congress had fielded only one candidate in the form of Meenakshi Natarajan, whereas BJP first declared Tarun Chugh and Rajneesh Aggarwal as candidates and later fielded Mahesh Kewat as the third candidate. This increased Congress’s tension a bit because cross voting could take place in the elections. Now that the nomination of the Congress candidate has been cancelled, the third candidate of BJP has also won.
