"Surat not first time but 35 candidates...": Hardeep Singh Puri replies to Rahul Gandhi on BJP's first win in Gujarat
BJP candidate Mukesh Dalal was elected unopposed from Surat, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri indirectly targeted Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday and said that it is not the first time, but 35 candidates have been elected unopposed since independence.
In a post on X, Puri said that half out of the 35 candidates were from the Congress party.
«Surat is not the first time that a candidate has been elected unopposed to Parliament. 35 candidates have been elected unopposed in general elections and by-polls since independence. With yet another ill-researched comment, this time on the unopposed election of Mukesh Dalal Ji in Surat, the 'young' & aspiring Congress leader continues to live up to his famous nickname,» he said.
«His faith in democracy will be strengthened when he discovers that more than half of the 35 candidates were from the Congress party, and his belief in conspiracy theories will be shaken when he realises that this list includes his alliance partners Farooq Abdullah Ji in 1980 and Dimple Yadav Ji in 2012,» Hardeep Singh Puri added.
