Indian Express·1h ago·Neutral
What Happened
All four candidates withdrew nominations for the Chikhlod seat election under Fagvel Taluka Panchayat in Kheda district on Wednesday. The withdrawals include BJP's Bhavana Parmar, Congress's Sonal Parmar, and independents Ela Sharma and Dhruma Sharma. Election Officer K J Acharya stated candidates refused to continue despite advice. The action links to protests against Chikhlod's inclusion in newly-created Fagvel taluka, previously part of Kapadvanj. Villagers oppose the reorganization, citing better services access in Kapadvanj.
