Kochi: BJP leader Navya Haridas on Friday moved the Kerala High Court challenging the election of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra from the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat in the November 13 bypoll.

In her plea, the BJP leader claimed that Priyanka did not correctly disclose her and her family's assets in the nomination papers and provided "false information".

This is against the Model Code of Conduct and amounts to corrupt practices, Navya said. Confirming the filing of the petition, she added that the matter was likely to come up for hearing in January 2025 as the High Court will be on vacation from December 23 to January 5.

Advocate Hari Kumar G Nair, who filed the petition for Navya, said that the plea seeks setting aside of Priyanka'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".
