Lok Satta Chief urges EC intervention over rejection of Congress candidate’s RS nomination

Hyderabad, June 11 (UNI) Lok Satta Party President Jayaprakash Narayan on Thursday criticised the rejection of Congress leader Meenakshi Natarajan’s nomination for the Rajya Sabha election in Madhya Pradesh, describing the Returning Officer’s (RO) decision as “a travesty of democracy”.
In a post on social media platform X, Narayan argued that the RO had erred in rejecting the nomination on the grounds cited.
He said a petition submitted to a party leader seeking action against another party member for an alleged offence does not make the party leader culpable.
