Meenakshi Natarajan's Rajya Sabha Nomination Sparks Political Controversy
The Rajya Sabha election nomination of Congress leader Meenakshi Natarajan for a seat from Madhya Pradesh was on Tuesday rejected by the Election Commission following complaints that she had not disclosed the details of a "case" against her in her nomination papers.
The "case" in question is said to have been filed against the Congress leader in Telangana. The rejection by the Returning Officer came on the complaint by senior BJP leader and Madhya Pradesh Minister, Kailash Vijayvargiya. The complaint contended that a case involving Natarajan is pending before a Telangana court and was not disclosed in her nomination affidavit.
