10,000 ‘anti-Shoukath’ votes have gone to M Swaraj in Nilambur bypoll: P.V. Anvar
Trinamool Congress state convener P.V. Anvar yesterday claimed that around 10,000 “anti-Aryadan Shoukath votes” which were to come to him, have gone to LDF candidate M Swaraj due to speculation that the former Nilambur MLA will not win Nilambur bypoll.
Mr. Shoukath is the Congress-led UDF candidate in the by-election, while Mr. Anvar contested as an independent.
Mr. Anvar made the cross-voting claim during a press conference held late Sunday evening, on the eve of the counting of votes of the Nilambur bypoll.
However, he expressed confidence that despite that loss, he will win the bypoll.
