Who Is Meenakshi Natarajan? Rahul Gandhi's Close Associate Whose Rajya Sabha Nomination Was Rejected

Congress leader Meenakshi Natarajan's Rajya Sabha nomination from Madhya Pradesh was rejected due to alleged affidavit discrepancies regarding a pending court case. This decision led to strong protests from Congress and a political row. Consequently, BJP candidate Mahesh Kewat was elected unopposed, marking a significant political victory for the ruling party. Natarajan has since launched a sharp counter-attack against the BJP following the returning officer's claim that mandatory disclosures in her nomination papers were incomplete.
