An agreement has been reached between Aam Aadmi Party and Congress on seat sharing for the Lok Sabha elections. In this agreement, Bharuch Lok Sabha seat has been given to Aam Aadmi Party.
Amidst this seat distribution, reports are coming that Ahmed Patel's daughter Mumtaz Patel is angry and has also expressed her displeasure against the Congress high command.
The talks that have been going on for the last several days between Congress and Aam Aadmi Party regarding seat distribution for the Lok Sabha elections have been finalized.
On Saturday, Congress and AAP made the official announcement of seat sharing. However, with the announcement of seat sharing, voices of displeasure have also started being raised in the Congress and Mumtaz Patel, daughter of Sonia Gandhi's political advisor Ahmed Patel, has expressed her displeasure on the Bharuch seat of Gujarat.
After this alliance, when Congress did not get the Bharuch seat, Mumtaz Patel tweeted, “I apologize to my district cadre for not getting the Bharuch Lok Sabha seat in the alliance.” I can understand your frustration. Together we will unite again to strengthen the Congress. We will not let Ahmed Patel's 45 year legacy be ruined.
In the seat sharing, Bharuch Lok Sabha seat of Gujarat has gone to Aam Aadmi Party. Bharuch is the Lok Sabha seat from where Ahmed Patel was elected to Parliament. In such a situation, Ahmed Patel's daughter Mumtaz Patel has said that Congress workers are extremely sad and disappointed by this decision of giving Bharuch seat to Aam Aadmi Party.
Mumtaz Patel said that during talks with Aam Aadmi Party, we had hoped that Bharuch seat would remain with Congress but party workers are disappointed and saddened by the decision of going to AAP. We have also learned that Rahul Gandhi himself has expressed his objection to giving the Bharuch seat to the Aam Aadmi Party.
Mumtaz Patel further said that we are still hopeful that Congress will win this seat. Traditionally this is a Congress seat. Aam Aadmi Party wants to form an alliance here because they need the support of Congress. Apart from Mumtaz Patel, many party leaders including Ahmed Patel's son Faizal Ahmed have appealed to the top leadership to field Congress candidate from Bharuch seat.
Earlier on Thursday, Mumtaz Patel had written a post on her ex. In this post, Mumtaz Patel said that her father taught her to fight till her last breath.
Let us tell you that Ahmed Patel was elected MP from Bharuch Lok Sabha seat seven times. Although there was discussion for the last several months that Congress will give ticket to Mumtaz Patel or Faisal Patel from this seat, but now the Aam Aadmi Party in alliance will field its candidate from this seat.
