BJP wins Surat seat uncontested amid legal controversy

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured a significant victory in the Surat Lok Sabha constituency even before the counting of votes began on June 4, 2024. Mukesh Dalal, the BJP candidate, was declared the winner on April 22 after all other contenders withdrew from the race. This marks a rare instance of an uncontested election in Indian parliamentary history.
