Gujarat: Ahmed Patel’s Daughter Requests Congress Leadership To Field Her From Navsari Constituency

Pradesh Congress, however, is not in favor but her name from Navsari is likely to be considered in the CEC meeting.

New Delhi: Mumtaz Patel, daughter of veteran Congress leader Ahmed Patel, has requested the party leadership to consider fielding her from Navsari Constituency in Gujarat. Gujarat BJP chief CR Patil is currently the sitting MP from the Navsari seat.

Pradesh Congress, however, is not in favor but her name from Navsari is likely to be considered in the CEC meeting.

If nominated from the Navsari Constituency, Mumtaz will be pitted against CR Patel in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, as the BJP has once again nominated him as their candidate for the same seat.

Last month, Congress leader Ahmed Patel's son Faisal Patel voiced concern after the Congress-AAP alliance allotted the Bharuch Lok Sabha seat to AAP.

Bharuch Lok Sabha constituency is closely associated with his late father. "My bond with the people of Bharuch, my father's parliamentary constituency, is profound. The recent developments dishearten me, but I differ with the high command's decision," Faisal Patel stated, signaling his intent to engage with party leadership in Delhi to seek a resolution.

Mumtaz also expressed her disappointment and said that the Congress workers and the people felt demoralised and sad after the reports came of the seat being given to AAP.

"Deeply apologise to our district cadre for not being able to secure the Bharuch Lok Sabha seat in alliance. I share your disappointment. Together, we will regroup to make Congress stronger. We won't let Ahmed Patel's 45 years of legacy go in vain," Patel tweeted.

In response to the Congress-AAP alliance's decision to allocate Bharuch and Bhavnagar seats to AAP, CR Paatil asserted that the alliance would not sway BJP's dominance in these areas.

"These seats have remained with the BJP during Ahmed Patel's lifetime and will continue to do so, regardless of any alliances. BJP is strong in Bharuch. This alliance reflects that Congress has already accepted defeat. Even Congress leaders see no hope of victory. Congress should not do such wrong to Gujarat’s public. Gujarat’s aware public is now also aware about parties that come during elections and then run away," Paatil had remarked.
