In a surprise turn, BJP's Mukesh Dalal secures victory in Gujarat's Surat Lok Sabha seat unopposed after 8 nominations withdrawn and 2 rejected, marking a historic win for the party. Gujarat CM Bhupendra Patel and BJP chief C.R. Paatil congratulate Dalal. Congress alleges 'match-fixing' by BJP, denouncing the uncontested election as a threat to democracy. BJP dismisses accusations, citing Surat's longstanding support for the party. Dalal, a BJP stalwart, replaces incumbent Darshana Jardosh. Surat, a BJP stronghold since 1989, sees its first unopposed MP election in Gujarat's history.
