Ahmedabad: Even before the second phase of voting in the 7-phase Lok Sabha elections across the country is to be held on Apr. 26, the BJP has opened its account in the LS polls by bagging the Surat seat in Gujarat,with the party candidate Mukesh Dalal being declared elected unopposed on Monday.
A total of 24 candidates had filed their nomination papers for the Surat LS seat in Gujarat. Subsequently, the nomination papers of the Congress candidate Nilesh Kumbhani as well as his substitute were rejected over discrepancies in the signatures of their proposers.
