Congress suspends Surat’s disqualified candidate for ‘collusion with BJP’

Congress suspended Friday its disqualified Surat LS candidate Nilesh Kumbhani for six years, accusing him of “negligence or collusion with BJP” even as he stayed “incommunicado” and released a video pledging allegiance to the party. Kumbhani’s nomination was rejected on April 22 after his three proposers claimed their signatures were not theirs.
