Chandigarh – Protests and accusations mar the aftermath of the Chandigarh mayoral election, as Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders and workers continue to express discontent over the results. Following BJP candidate Manoj Sonkar’s victory, AAP has alleged rigging and unfair practices, leading to demonstrations and a hunger strike outside the municipal office.

The AAP contends that the BJP’s win, secured with 16 votes against the alliance’s 12, was achieved through dishonest means. This claim has sparked heated exchanges between both parties, with Delhi Chief Minister and AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal directly accusing the BJP of manipulating the election.

Amidst the ongoing protests, reports emerged of Chandigarh Police detaining AAP leaders and workers demonstrating against the alleged rigging. This action further heightened tensions and fueled accusations of BJP stifling dissent.

The BJP, on the other hand, has vehemently denied any wrongdoing and asserted that the election process was conducted transparently. They have urged AAP to accept the results and focus on constructive cooperation for the city’s development.

As the AAP protests continue and investigations into the rigging claims remain ongoing, uncertainty hangs over the legitimacy of the mayoral election. Whether the dispute will be resolved amicably or escalate further remains to be seen.
