Kerala Court Summons Priyanka Gandhi On Plea Challenging Her Election From Wayanad
Kochi: The Kerala High Court has issued summons to AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on a plea challenging her election from the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat in the bypoll held there last year. Justice K Babu passed the order while admitting a plea by her then rival BJP candidate Navya Haridas who had claimed that the Congress leader had not correctly disclosed her and family's assets in the nomination papers and provided "false information" which is against the Model Code of Conduct and amounts to a corrupt practice. Haridas, who had lost to Vadra by over five lakh votes in the bypoll, said that the Congress leader's response has been sought in the matter. The petition will be heard next on August 11, the court said. The BJP leader's plea has sought setting aside of Ms Vadra's election for allegedly "suppressing vital information about the various assets owned by her and her family", and "misguiding, misinforming and keeping the voters in the dark with the intention of influencing their choice". Ms Vadra had scored her maiden electoral victory from the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat in the bypoll held there on November 13, 2024 by getting 6,22,338 votes. Her rival, Haridas, came third with 1,09,939 votes.

Plea claims Priyanka Gandhi hid assets in poll info, HC sends her notice
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra (File photo) KOCHI: Kerala high court on Tuesday issued notice to Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra seeking her response to a petition challenging her election from the Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency in the Nov 2024 byelection. Justice K Babu admitted the election petition filed by BJP candidate Navya Haridas seeking Priyanka's election to be declared void, and posted it for further hearing in Aug. In her petition, Haridas has accused Priyanka of corrupt practices and suppression or non-disclosure of several immovable properties owned by her and her spouse, Robert Vadra, in the affidavit submitted along with her nomination papers. The petition alleges that Priyanka suppressed vital information regarding assets owned by her and her family, thereby misleading and misinforming voters and keeping them in the dark to influence their electoral choice. This, the petitioner contends, amounts to corrupt practices under the Representation of the People Act, 1951. The petition also alleges that Priyanka's nomination papers violated election laws and the Conduct of Election Rules. In the byelection, necessitated by Rahul Gandhi vacating the seat in favour of Rae Bareli, Priyanka secured her maiden electoral victory with a margin exceeding four lakh votes. She polled 6,22,338 votes while LDF candidate Sathyan Mokeri secured 2,11,407 votes. Haridas, the petitioner, was placed third with 1,09,939 votes.

TMC enters Kerala politics, fields PV Anvar in Nilambur by-election
New Delhi: The Mamata Banerjee-led All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Sunday announced its debut electoral foray into Kerala by deciding to contest the upcoming by-election in Nilambur, an Assembly constituency under the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat currently held by Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. The by-election, scheduled for later this month, was necessitated by the resignation of sitting MLA PV Anvar, a Left-backed independent who stepped down after falling out with chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. Anvar has since joined TMC and has been appointed its state convenor. On Sunday, he formally declared his candidacy, positioning himself as a potential game-changer in a high-stakes battle between the CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) ahead of next year's state election. Nilambur, part of Malappuram district, is one of seven Assembly segments within the Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency, which spans across Wayanad, Kozhikode, and Malappuram districts. Anvar, 58, comes from a family with deep roots in the Congress and ties to the Indian freedom movement. Over his political career, he has been affiliated with the Congress, Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), and the Left before aligning with TMC. A businessman-politician known for his maverick style, Anvar has long worked to cultivate Nilambur as his personal political stronghold, leveraging his local influence to sway the contest between UDF and LDF. The constituency is demographically diverse, with significant Muslim, Hindu, and Christian populations.
