Chandigarh Mayoral polls: AAP moves Punjab and Haryana High Court
Chandigarh Mayoral polls: Aam Aadmi Party's Mayor candidate Anju Katyal and two others have filed a petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court challenging the polls results. The case has been listed for January 19.
Interestingly, on January 9, BJP’s Mayoral candidate for the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation Sarabjit Kaur defeated the AAP’s Anju Katyal by one vote, which was declared invalid at the Assembly hall. The AAP could not have its Mayor despite getting the highest seat share (14) in the General House of the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation.
