Business Standard
|June 12, 2026
The returning officer on Thursday declared the three Bharatiya Janata Party candidates elected unopposed in the biennial Rajya Sabha elections in Madhya Pradesh, even as Congress candidate Meenakshi Natarajan has moved the Supreme Court against the rejection of her nomination.
-
Three Congress candidates, including AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge, and one BJP nominee were declared elected unanimously to the Rajya Sabha from Karnataka, election officials said.
Returning Officer Arvind Sharma announced that the BJP’s Tarun Chugh, Rajneesh Agarwal and Mahesh Kewat have been elected.
The Congress had nominated Natarajan as its sole candidate, but her nomination was rejected on Tuesday on the ground that she concealed information about a court complaint filed against her in Telangana in the Form 26 submitted with her nomination. The SC would be hearing Natarajan’s petition against the Returning Officer’s decision on Friday.
