Even as the Supreme Court on Tuesday held Kuldeep Kumar, the joint candidate of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Congress, to be validly elected as Chandigarh Mayor, the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation is set to experience a peculiar situation as the BJP would be holding the key surrounding decisions on varying agendas surrounding the city’s work that would come up before the House.
Ahead of a hearing surrounding Chandigarh’s mayoral election in the top court, the city’s Mayor Manoj Sonkar had on February 18 resigned from his position, and also three AAP councillors — Neha, Poonam and Gurcharan Kala — joined the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP).
