The Kerala High Court on Tuesday issued a notice to Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in an election petition filed by Navya Haridas, the BJP candidate from Wayanad.
She had filed a plea in the Kerala High Court seeking to nullify the victory of Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi from the Wayanad Parliamentary Constituency, accusing her of not disclosing critical details during her nomination filing.
In the petition, the BJP leader, who lost against her Congress rival by over five lakh votes, argued that Gandhi's action goes against the Model Code of Conduct and amounts to corrupt practices.
Justice K Babu, while hearing the case, issued the summons and posted the matter to August 2025, according to Bar and Bench.
Advocate Hari Kumar G Nair, who filed the petition on behalf of Haridas, mentioned that the plea sought to set aside Priyanka Gandhi's electoral win as she allegedly suppressed crucial information related to the assets owned by her and her family.
Gandhi achieved her first electoral victory from the Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency, garnering 6,22,338 votes. Her opponent, Haridas, finished in third place with 1,09,939 votes.
