NEW DELHI: A political storm erupted on Tuesday after the nomination of Congress Rajya Sabha candidate Meenakshi Natarajan from Madhya Pradesh was rejected, triggering protests by senior party leaders and a confrontation outside the Election Commission office in Delhi.Congress leaders, including Jairam Ramesh, KC Venugopal, Bhupesh Baghel and Sachin Pilot, arrived at the Election Commission office to protest the decision. Visuals from the scene showed Jairam Ramesh being stopped from entering the premises.Before heading to the ECI office, Congress general secretary (organisation) KC Venugopal condemned the development, saying, “…Democracy has been killed…”Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh chief minister Mohan Yadav hailed the decision and called on the Congress party to “introspect”.”As you all know, the Congress candidate concealed the information of criminal background, it should have been declared. But unfortunately, the Congress people concealed. The decision that was taken, I welcome this scrutiny. Now the Congress should introspect, they were in fear. We welcome the decision,” he said.The controversy began after the Returning Officer for the Rajya Sabha election rejected Natarajan’s nomination.
