BJP Gujarat unit president C R Paatil today said that their party candidate from Surat Lok Sabha seat, Mukesh Dalal was elected unopposed after all other candidates withdrew from the fray.
On the last day of withdrawal of the nomination forms on Monday, eight candidates, mostly Independents and Pyarelal Bharti of Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), withdrew their papers. While, the election officer has cancelled the nomination papers of the Congress candidate Nilesh Kumbhani over ‘fake signatures of people who signed as witnesses.’ The official announcement of Dalal's win is yet to be made.
C R Paatil said, ‘Surat has presented the first Lotus to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I congratulate our candidate for Surat Lok Sabha seat Mukesh Dalal for getting elected unopposed’. Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel also congratulated Dalal saying that his pre-poll victory is a ‘beginning of historic victory’ of the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections 2024. All 26 seats of Gujarat will go to the polls for Lok Sabha elections 2024 in a single phase on May 7.
