The Delhi High Court on Wednesday sought a response from BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj regarding AAP leader Somnath Bharti's petition that contests her election to the Lok Sabha on allegations of corrupt practices.

In the meantime, the court removed former AAP minister Raaj Kumar Anand, who joined BJP post-election, from the list of involved parties, citing lack of actionable cause against him.
