In a major setback for the Congress party in Madhya Pradesh, the nomination of its Rajya Sabha candidate Meenakshi Natarajan was rejected by the Returning Officer. The rejection came following allegations by the BJP that she had concealed information regarding a pending criminal case in a Telangana court in her affidavit. Since the deadline for filing nominations has passed, Congress cannot field a new candidate, making the victory of BJP's third candidate, Mahesh Khewat, certain. Congress leaders have met the Election Commission to protest this decision. https://odia.oneindia.com/national/meenakshis-nomination-rejected-shock-to-congress-124687.html #creator program
