MP Rajya Sabha election: BJP wins unopposed: Bharatiya Janata Party has secured all the three Rajya Sabha seats of Madhya Pradesh unopposed. BJP candidates Tarun Chugh, Rajneesh Agarwal and Mahesh Kewat received the victory certificate from the returning officer. BJP’s media in-charge Ashish Agarwal was also present.
The development came after the nomination of Congress candidate Meenakshi Natarajan was rejected during scrutiny, effectively clearing the path for BJP’s candidates. Following the completion of the nomination withdrawal process, there were no remaining challengers in the fray, resulting in the three BJP nominees being declared elected without a contest.
Here, the case of cancellation of nomination of Congress candidate Meenakshi Natarajan has been a subject of constant political and legal debate. Congress has approached the Supreme Court challenging this decision.
