The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has secured all three Rajya Sabha seats from Madhya Pradesh after its candidates — Rajneesh Agrawal, Tarun Chugh, and Mahesh Kewat — were elected unopposed in the 2026 elections.
The development comes amid a controversy over the rejection of Congress leader Meenakshi Natarajan’s nomination. Natarajan on Thursday moved the Supreme Court challenging the rejection of her nomination for the Rajya Sabha elections from Madhya
Pradesh.
The elections for the three seats are scheduled to be held on June 18.
The situation took a dramatic turn earlier this week when her nomination was rejected on charges of concealing information in the affidavit.
According to an order issued by Rajya Sabha Election Returning Officer Arvind Sharma, scrutiny of documents revealed that Natarajan had submitted an incomplete affidavit, omitting details of a court complaint in Form 26 filed along with her nomination.
