A strong undercurrent wave of aam admi aprty (AAP) has changed the scenario of Chandigarh, as per the results of Municipal Corporation which were declared today.
Ruling bhartiya janta party (BJP) got the main shock in the recently held Municipal Corporation elections, for which the result were declared today.
Others like Congress, shiromani akali dal (SAD) and others are too shocked as AAP wins 14 seats, BJP wins 12 seats, Congress wins 8 seats and SAD wins 1 seat.
Traditionally, the Chandigarh civic polls held every five years is a straight rivalry between the BJP and Congress. But this year AAP has changed totally changed the scene. In a huge setback for the BJP, both its mayors — Ravi Kant Sharma and Davesh Moudgil – were defeated by AAP candidates. But AAP’s election campaign committee head Chander Mukhi Sharma lost.
“Today’s result will have direct impact on upcoming Punjab’s assembly elections. The result shows the mood of the regions voter. Today result might be a trailer for ruling BJP and opposition Congress party and full picture will be shown in Punjab assembly elections 2022 results” said AS Sodhi.
Counting of votes of the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation election started today at 9 am and results are expected to be declared by today afternoon, officials said. Nine counting centres have been set up for 35 wards of the municipal corporation.
This time there will be 35 councillors in the house as the wards have been increased from 26 to 35. The polling percentage remained at 60.45 per cent this year, which was held on December 24.
AAP’s undercurrent wave disconnected ruling BJP and others in Chandigarh. In the last polls, the BJP had bagged 20 seats and its then ally Akali Dal had a single seat. The BJP-Akali Dal’s rival Congress had won four seats. The BJP and the Akali Dal fell out earlier this year over the farmer protest.
