AAP - BJP - Chandigarh - Congress - Election - Politics

BJP's Manoj Sonkar emerges victorious in Chandigarh mayor election amidst uproar over invalid votes. Dive into the chaotic battle for the mayoral seat!

In a surprising turn of events, BJP's Manoj Sonkar clinched victory in the Chandigarh mayor election despite facing backlash for controversial circumstances surrounding the polls. The election witnessed a fierce battle between BJP and the INDIA bloc, with Manoj Sonkar securing 16 votes, defeating the combined nominee of Congress and AAP. The aftermath of the election was filled with accusations of foul play and cheating, especially after 8 votes were declared invalid.

As the opposition parties, AAP and Congress, expressed dismay over the election results, BJP celebrated its triumph in the first poll battle against the INDIA alliance. The controversy surrounding the Chandigarh mayor election sparked a heated debate over the integrity of the electoral process and raised concerns about democracy's sanctity.

Despite the chaos and allegations of wrongdoing, the election outcome solidified BJP's stronghold in Chandigarh and marked a significant win for the party. The high drama and unexpected results of the election highlighted the intense political landscape in the region, setting the stage for future confrontations and power struggles.

In a twist of events, the Chandigarh mayor polls led to a legal battle as the Punjab and Haryana High Court issued notices and took up petitions challenging the election results. The court's involvement added another layer of complexity to the already turbulent aftermath of the contentious election, leaving the political arena in Chandigarh in a state of uncertainty.
