The PM’s Meeting with Bavaliya: Nitin Patel Withdraws from Mehsana Lok Sabha Candidature, Citing Reasons
Former Deputy Chief Minister of Gujarat, Nitin Patel, has withdrawn his claim for the Mehsana Lok Sabha seat, marking a notable shift in the state’s political landscape. This isn’t the first instance where Patel has refrained from contesting elections; he had earlier opted out of the legislative assembly elections as well. In a letter addressed to the state chief, CR Patil, Patel explicitly expressed his disinterest in contesting the upcoming assembly elections.
His letter stated, “In 2022, I had no desire to contest the assembly elections from the Mehsana constituency. Therefore, I am not considering my name for candidacy selection.” Patel’s decision, communicated through this letter, sheds light on the intricate political dynamics within the state and raises questions about the future trajectory of Gujarat’s political scenario.
New Political Dynamics Unfold as Nitin Patel Steps Back from Lok Sabha Candidacy
Nitin Patel’s decision to withdraw his candidacy for the Lok Sabha elections in 2024 has sparked renewed discussions among political analysts, as fresh scenarios emerge regarding the Mehsana constituency. With Patel opting out of the electoral race, speculation intensifies regarding the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) potential candidate from Mehsana. After announcing candidates for the Rajkot and Porbandar seats, discussions about contesting the Rajkot by-elections have also come to a halt.
It’s noteworthy that the BJP has nominated former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and former Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal as Lok Sabha candidates, adding more layers to the evolving political landscape.

This marks the first instance where Patel has stepped back as a BJP candidate.
I pray to the honorable Narendra Modi, who has become the Prime Minister of India for the third consecutive time, to further elevate India’s prestige and bring glory to Bharat Mata. I express my heartfelt gratitude to all workers, well-wishers, and supporters.
