Following the seat-sharing announcement of Congress and AAP in Gujarat in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Mumtaz Patel, the daughter of late Congress leader Ahmed Patel, expressed disappointment after the seat went to AAP.
Her discontent stems from the Bharuch seat, a traditional stronghold for the Congress, slipping into the hands of AAP.
In a post on X, Mumtaz wrote, “Deeply apologize 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. #bharuchkibeti (sic)” Patel added.
Ahmed Patel, a member of the Rajya Sabha from Gujarat, passed away in November 2020 due to complications related to COVID-19.
