Supreme Court weighs in as BJP’s 3 Rajya Sabha picks in Madhya Pradesh elected unopposed

BJP's three Rajya Sabha picks in Madhya Pradesh are elected unopposed after a nomination row. The opposition party terms the developments as "theft", "hijacking" of the democratic process and "betrayal" of people. Returning officer Arvind Sharma declared BJP nominees Rajneesh Agrawal, Tarun Chugh and Mahesh Kevat elected unopposed from Madhya Pradesh and handed them certificates of election. This comes after the Supreme Court refused to halt the poll process, but agreed to hear the plea on Friday.
