AAP to protest at BJP headquarters in Delhi over Chandigarh mayor election Chief ministers Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann to join protest
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will hold a protest at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) headquarters in Delhi on February 2 over alleged irregularities in the Chandigarh mayoral election.
AAP chief and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann will also join the protest.
The AAP has alleged that the BJP rigged the election to ensure the victory of its candidate. The party has demanded a fresh election.
The Chandigarh mayoral election was held on December 27. The BJP's candidate, Sarabjit Kaur Dhillon, won the election by a narrow margin.
The AAP has alleged that some voters were prevented from casting their votes, while others were forced to vote for the BJP candidate. The party has also alleged that some ballot papers were tampered with.
The BJP has denied the AAP's allegations. The party has said that the election was fair and free.
The Chandigarh mayoral election is seen as a prestige battle between the AAP and the BJP. The two parties are the main contenders in the upcoming Punjab assembly elections.
The AAP's protest is likely to embarrass the BJP. The party is already facing criticism over its handling of the economy and the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is to be seen whether the AAP's protest will have any impact on the outcome of the Punjab assembly elections.
