How BJP ‘won’ in Surat: Unravelling 24 hours of peculiarities
#loksabhaelection2024
In a series of peculiar events, the BJP’s Mukesh Dalal was elected unopposed from Gujarat’s Surat Lok Sabha constituency on April 21. The declaration came days before polling even began for the elections, as Congress candidate Nilesh Kumbhani’s nomination was cancelled and eight other independent candidates “withdrew”.
Four affidavits signed by Kumbhani’s relative, a BJP lawyer, and allegations of forgery were the centre of the nomination cancellation. In the aftermath, Kumbhani went incommunicado and sparked allegations of a “collusion”.
But what really happened in Surat? Newslaundry pieced together the peculiar events that led to the BJP candidate’s victory.
Watch.

Election in Surat must. Supreme Court should intervene
In Gujarat 'Fixing' is called the Gujarati Model.
Thank you for this report. I am from Surat and it is so shameful that we will not be able to vote. Please mention that in local elections Aam Admi party did so well, the BJP was wondering if they might not be elected again, they do not want to take the chance you know.
Excellent coverage and reporting
What a game of Chess! By hook or crook mahaprabhu doesn't want to leave his throne.
Are we moving towards dictatorship What about democracy And what about free and fair elections
Supreme Court should intervene
This is really sad that people involved in this Illegal and unconstitutional ways get away as well pretty easily.
This is called match fixing and needs a thorough investigation.
Great reporting! I contributed to your fund.
Wondering if a OTT media reporter can do such investigation & expose the BJP Criminal action. What are local Administration & Police doing? EC must suspend the DM, disqualify BJP elected member & start Election process a fresh.

Usually BJP buys the winner after election but here they bought all nominees before the election even happened. Anyway BJP would have won so this seems to be an experiment.

Before declaring him winning shouldn't there be aby procedure asking public for opinion or give chance to field the candidate?
Nicely fixed
what does Mr Mahesh Jethmalani have to say on this matter other than EVMs, CU and VVPAT etc.
Reminds of the song from Guru Dutt's Pyaasa, ... Jinhe naaz hai Hind par woh kahan hai...
Keep going

❤❤❤❤❤
Need a flowchart for this
Wah modi ji wah ..waaah!
it is very sad to see that our middle age and elder generation (40/50+) vote for BJP. Because they don't have to face much socioeconomic issues now. Their education has been completed, most have got savings, settled job and life, enough spare money for emergencies that they do not want to see facts and data. They have struggled in their youth while congress was in power and will always blame congress for their struggles. Now they don't face many challenges in daily life and want to focus on religion and emotion as what old people do, so they vote for a party who gives them religion. Getting good health, infra, jobs is not their problem anymore. They are at enough senior position that they can leave their offices to go vote but the young intern/junior doesn't even get a 2 hour leave on voting day. Naturally the voting percent will be skewed.

Re_ election' in surat? Come out people its u r rights, last electon in life, did surat people get 15 lakhs in account, than dont need electiion
😕
too late reporting... people should raise there voice against this
Those Urban naxals who are outraging over BJP's Surat Candidate Mukesh Dalal winning Loksabha elections unopposed, do they know that there were 10 unopposed winners in the first Lok Sabha in 1951 and 11 in the second Lok Sabha in 1957? When Pandit Nehru was the PM. And it didn't stop there, many other leaders of "INDI" alliance have won unopposed after that time period as well. -Dimple Yadav of SP 2012 -Dil Kumari of Sikkim Sangram Parishad 1985 -Farooq Abdullah of NC 1980 -Premalabai of Congress in 1973 -P M Sayeed of Congress in 1971 -Yashwantrao Chavan of Congress in 1963 Mukesh Dalal ji is the first BJP member to win unopposed..How many Congress LS candidates won unopposed? -TWENTY How many other INDI alliance LS candidates won unopposed? -NINE (Including Faruq Abdullah & Dimple Yadav) How many BJP LS candidates won unopposed? -ONCE (2024) Conclusion : BJP is anti-democracy...
Rip democracy in Surat in future becomes like this in whole country
There is a Option of NOTA, election should be conducted and people should vote for NOTA if they do not want the only candidate available. Hope election commission and court will take action against it.
can NOTA be use in this case #newslaundry
In English please, For South Indians
What so ever happened..Still election should be conducted... Let's people choose if they want the candidate by voting them otherwise there are still having an option for NOTA ... If people don't want him. #fairelection #democracy

Please, yet there is enough time check accounts of all parties related to elections including their close aides, relations, their staff election commission staff including sub-staff. HOW MANY HUNDREDS CRORES MUKESH BHADVA (DALAL ) HAS SPEND AND HOW MUCH ALL CONCERNED TO FILING OF APPLICATION CONDUCTING ELECTION, DECLARING RESULTS. NEVER IGNORE THE NOTARY INPARTICULAR FIRST PROSECUTE HIM.& INITIATE LEGAL ACTION.
aaj democracy jeet gai…..Jay shree ram
Galat huaa h
Congress State leadership didn’t involve in the process thats the problem
In past Congress candidates have won like this many times. Please google. This is not a big deal.
Jago EC jago.. nhi toh phir SC ko democracy ka fighter banke ana parega
