In the Surat case, Chief Electoral Officer P Bharti’s statement came out that a report will be given by the Collector against Nilesh Kumbhani, after which action will be taken. Let the report come first on whether to take Suo Moto or not. If we feel serious, we can also take Suo Moto, we have done so in many cases. Till now we have taken suo moto and asked for collector’s report in 19 cases.

Was Kumbhani contesting elections for the fourth time?
Nilesh Kumbhani is a Leuva Patel from the Patidar community. He is originally from Saurashtra. Active in many other fields including real estate, Kumbhani has previously been a councilor of Surat. In the 2021 Surat Municipal Corporation elections, Kumbhani had to face defeat against the Aam Aadmi Party candidate. After this, in the 2022 Gujarat Assembly elections, the Congress Party had made Kumbhani its assembly candidate from Kamrej seat of Surat. In this election, Kumbhani stood third after BJP and AAP candidate Ram Dhaduk. Then Kumbhani had secured 26 thousand votes.
Who played games with Congress?
After BJP’s unopposed victory in Surat and Kumbhani’s disappearance, the question is arising that who played this game with Congress? After getting the ticket from Congress for the Lok Sabha elections, Kumbhani started campaigning vigorously. Hoardings of Surat Ka Sathi (Surat No Sarathi) were put up in Surat city. Kumbhani had filed a total of three sets of nominations. A complaint was made by BJP candidate Mukesh Dalal’s election agent Dinesh Jodhani that the signature of one proposer in each of his three sets was wrong. After this there was a big twist in the whole matter. The command of Congress in Surat is in the hands of Dhansukh Rajput.

First the proponent then Kumbhani disappears
On the complaint of cancellation of nomination, the District Election Officer directed to bring the proposers. At such a time, the signatures of the proposers whose signatures were questioned were raised earlier. He disappeared. Later, after the rejection of his nomination, Kumbhani disappeared. Surat Congress leaders say that they had left the Collector’s office saying that they were going to Ahmedabad. Since then Kumbhani’s phone is switched off and not reachable. His house in Sarthana is locked. In such a situation, Congress leaders are investigating but Kumbhani has not been found yet.

Speculation about joining BJP
There is speculation in political circles that Nilesh Kumbhani may join BJP in the next few days or after May 7. The politics of Surat is heated amid the disappearance of Kumbhani. There is discussion in political circles that Kumbhani took advantage of the weakness of Congress in Surat. The question arises that who wrote the entire script of this political game? Did Kumbhani play the entire game by keeping the Congress leaders in the dark or is someone else the mastermind of the entire script. Congress has not been in power in Gujarat for the last 28 years but Congress has never left the field open to BJP. The question is arising whether unopposed after the cancellation of nomination was a coincidence or was it a well-planned preparation. The way BJP entered the field after the nomination was cancelled. He has also pushed Congress on the backfoot.

AAP was strong then why did Congress fight?
The position of Congress in Surat is very weak. Congress was left far behind in the 2022 Gujarat Assembly elections. Aam Aadmi Party was at number two after BJP in total votes. Among these, AAP had performed well in Katargam and Varachha seats. Had given direct competition to BJP. The question being raised is that when Congress’s ground was weak then why did the party not give this seat to AAP? If we look at the Municipal Corporation, Congress does not have a single councilor, whereas Aam Aadmi Party is the main opposition in Surat. After Kumbhani’s disappearance, Aam Aadmi Party is more worried than Congress. Due to Kumbhani’s mistake, the people of Surat were deprived of voting in Surat.
