The Gujarat Congress has suspended Nilesh Kumbhani, its Surat Lok Sabha candidate, for six years following the rejection of his nomination form. The move came after his form was dismissed by the returning officer, leading to the BJP candidate being elected unopposed. The disciplinary committee cited Kumbhani's alleged negligence or affiliation with the BJP. Kumbhani, a former Surat corporator, refuted claims of disappearance, asserting communication with senior Congress leaders. The suspension follows discontent among Surat residents and party members, prompting the Congress to take action against Kumbhani and a substitute candidate, Suresh Padsala.
