Controversy surrounds Chandigarh Mayoral Election as BJP candidate declared winner on ‘8 invalid’ votes
The BJP's Manoj Sonkar secured victory in the Chandigarh mayoral election with 16 votes, while AAP's Kuldeep Kumar received 12 votes. The results triggered allegations of fraud from the Congress-AAP alliance, citing the declaration of eight invalid votes and accusing the presiding officer of tampering with ballot papers. AAP's candidate filed a petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking the invalidation of the polls and a fresh election under the supervision of a retired HC judge. The BJP refuted the fraud claims.
