The Chandigarh mayoral polls will take place on Thursday with both the BJP and the Congress-AAP alliance claiming they are set to win the election.
The mayoral polls this time assume significance as the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party -- both INDIA bloc members -- have joined hands to contest the elections to oust the BJP from the chair of mayor which it has been winning for the last eight years.
Meanwhile, AAP candidate for the post of mayor Kuldeep Kumar moved the Punjab and Haryana High Court Thursday evening, seeking appointment of a court commissioner to supervise the Chandigarh mayoral poll process in order to ensure free and fair election.
