  HIGH · ALLEGED

  His 2024 victory was mired in national political controversy after the nomination papers of the main opposition Congress candidate were rejected over alleged discrepancies in proposers' signatures. Subsequently, all other independent and regional candidates withdrew their nominations under highly scrutinized circumstances, leading the opposition to allege severe democratic subversion and intimidation by the ruling BJP to secure Dalal's uncontested win.
