Gurudas Kamat

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today attacked Congress candidate from Mumbai North West constituency, Gurudas Kamat, here today, alleging he had fielded a "dummy" candidate from the same constituency to increase his chances of winning the seat. "An independent candidate called Pratik Toraskar, contesting from North West Lok Sabha constituency, is actually a dummy candidate propped by Gurudas Kamat.

We have brought the facts related to this information to the notice of the election officer," AAP candidate from the Mumbai North West constituency Mayank Gandhi told reporters. Gandhi said Toraskar's election agent Mahesh Malik had contested Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections in 2012 as a Congress candidate and until April 8, 2014, Malik was shown as a "vice president" on the website of Congress party's Mumbai North West District Committee.
