Geniben Thakor's Historic Lok Sabha Win Reshapes Gujarat Political Landscape

Geniben Thakor, after winning the Lok Sabha seat from Banaskantha, resigned as a Congress MLA from the Vav assembly seat. Her victory marked a significant win for Congress in Gujarat, where she was the sole candidate to win among 26 seats, ending BJP's clean sweep run.

In a landmark event, Congress MLA Geniben Thakor tendered her resignation from the Gujarat Assembly on Thursday after securing a Lok Sabha seat from Banaskantha in the recently concluded parliamentary elections.

Thakor submitted her resignation from the Vav assembly seat to Speaker Shankar Chaudhary in Gandhinagar, as confirmed by an official statement. The Speaker has accepted her resignation.

Thakor's triumph over BJP candidate Rekhaben Chaudhary by more than 30,000 votes is significant, as she became the only Congress candidate to win among Gujarat's 26 Lok Sabha seats, preventing the BJP from achieving a third consecutive clean sweep in the state.
