A delegation of Congress leaders, including K.C. Venugopal, Jairam Ramesh, Randeep Surjewala, and Meenakshi Natarajan, will meet the Election Commission today at noon. This follows the rejection of Natarajan's Rajya Sabha nomination from Madhya Pradesh. The returning officer canceled her nomination after the BJP objected, alleging she failed to disclose a pending criminal case in Telangana in her election affidavit.
Congress leaders protested outside the Election Commission office, with Venugopal claiming that democracy is being killed. The Congress maintains that Natarajan has no pending criminal FIRs against her and that the Telangana matter was merely a show-cause court notice, which she had replied to. The party accused the BJP of manipulating the Rajya Sabha polls and attempting to snatch the seat.
Meanwhile, BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya claimed that the information regarding the Telangana case was an inside leak provided by Congress leaders themselves.
