Congress Challenges Rejection of Natarajan’s Rajya Sabha Bid

Goud maintains that Natarajan’s candidacy faced no legal impediments, casting doubt on the legitimacy of the disqualification. In an interview with ANI, he characterized the move as a deliberate attempt by the BJP to monopolize Rajya Sabha seats by sidelining opposition contenders through arbitrary administrative hurdles.

Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi is spearheading the legal offensive, representing the party before the Supreme Court. By filing for an immediate resolution, Congress aims to expose what it describes as a mala fide intent behind the nomination process. The party remains firm in its stance that the rejection represents a dangerous precedent for democratic procedures, pinning its hopes on judicial intervention to restore the candidate’s status.
