The Supreme Court upheld the Chhattisgarh High Court's decision regarding an election petition. Bhupesh Baghel's plea challenging the dismissal of his rejection application was disposed of. The petition concerns alleged campaign violations during the 2023 assembly polls. Bhupesh Baghel was declared elected from Patan constituency in the elections. Vijay Baghel filed the petition alleging a rally during the silence period.

Supreme Court allows ex-CM Bhupesh Baghel to contest election plea, emphasizing his right to present defenses at the tribunal.

BJP leader Vijay Baghel has alleged that the former chief minister held a roadshow a day before the election, violating the Representation of the People Act.
