SC asks Cong MP Ahmed Patel to face trial over Rajya Sabha poll win
Upholding Gujarat High Court's order, Supreme Court asked Congress MP Ahmed Patel to face trial in connection with his election to the Rajya Sabha in 2017, which has been challenged by rival BJP candidate Balwant Singh Rajput. Election Commission had invalidated two votes given to Rajput by two rebel MLAs, which led to his loss against Patel in the election.
