Rajya Sabha polls: Congress delegation meets ECI over rejection of Meenakshi Natarajan’s nomination

A Congress delegation, including general secretary K.C. Venugopal and candidate Meenakshi Natarajan, met with the Election Commission of India (ECI) on Wednesday to address the rejection of Natarajan's nomination for Rajya Sabha polls in Madhya Pradesh. The delegation argued that the court notice was based on a private complaint, not a criminal case, and requested the commission to withdraw the rejection order. The party president, Mallikarjun Kharge, convened an urgent meeting to discuss the situation.
