Meenakshi Natarajan’s bid for the Rajya Sabha is reported to have been disrupted by events involving the BJP and a rapid legal and compliance check conducted over several hours. According to a report, the sequence began after the national leadership sought to confirm whether any case is pending against Natarajan in Hyderabad, where she currently serves as the Congress party’s in-charge (AICC in-charge). Party sources describe the developments as a time-sensitive sprint lasting about four hours, which they say derailed the process for her candidature. The reporting frames the episode as a procedural and verification hurdle, rather than a final substantive outcome, linked to the presence or absence of pending cases and the documentation needed for a parliamentary nomination. The account describes how leadership queries and the resulting legal steps played a decisive role in timing, affecting her Rajya Sabha bid during the period when nomination-related requirements are typically being finalised. The sources cited focus on the chronology and the role of case-status verification in creating delay.
