High drama unfolded on Tuesday at the Assembly Hall of the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation (MC) after the presiding officer declared eight votes of Congress and AAP councillors invalid, resulting in the BJP candidate Manoj Sonkar's victory in the mayoral elections. "This is robbery. In Chandigarh, there are 36 Councillor seats, out of which 14 seats are BJPs & 13 seats are AAPs and seven seats of Congress. Total AAP (13 + 7) has 20 seats...BJP has been exposed again," AAP leader Saurabh Bhardwaj said. Arvind Kejriwal also took to X to raise his voice against alleged foul play in the Chandigarh Mayor elections 2024. "The manner in which dishonesty has been done in broad daylight in the Chandigarh Mayor elections is extremely worrying. If these people can stoop so low in a mayor's election, then they can go to any extent in the country's elections. This is very worrying," Kejriwal wrote in Hindi.

Arvind Kejriwal Takes to X
चंडीगढ़ मेयर चुनाव में दिन दहाड़े जिस तरह से बेईमानी की गई है, वो बेहद चिंताजनक है। यदि एक मेयर चुनाव में ये लोग इतना गिर सकते हैं तो देश के चुनाव में तो ये किसी भी हद तक जा सकते हैं। ये बेहद चिंताजनक है।
