New Delhi, December 27

Congress suffered a major setback in the Chandigarh municipal elections ahead of the crucial state assembly elections, with the AAP becoming the largest party, followed by the BJP.

AAP official Arvind Kejriwal said “this victory in Chandigarh is a sign of coming change in Punjab.” But Congress has not reacted to the results and is waiting for the final result.

नगर निगम में आम आदमी पार्टी की ये जीत पंजाब में आने वाले बदलाव का संकेत है।चंडीगढ़ के लोगों ने आज भ्रष्ट राजनीति को नकारते हुए AAP की ईमानदार राजनीति को चुना है।

AAP सभी विजयी उम्मीदवारों एवं सभी कार्यकर्ताओं को बहुत-बहुत बधाई।

बार पंजाब बदलाव के लिए तैयार है।

Congress, which already faced an anti-titular factor in the Punjab, will have to wage a battle on three fronts – the resurgent AAP front, the BJP-Amarinder Singh and the Akali Dal-BSP fronts. The party that hoped to reap the dividends from the farmers’ unrest must rethink its strategy after the unions forged a political party in the state.

Congress, which is mired in internal wrangling in the state, will need to prepare for the Punjab polls. There may not be an easy walk in the Assembly polls as Congress thought after replacing Amarinder Singh as chief minister of state and appointing Charanjit Singh Channi to secure the votes. programmed castes, which are the highest in the country, but the recent questions of sacrilege and lynching have put the chief minister on the back.

The AAP won 14 of 35 seats in the Chandigarh municipal polls, the BJP won 12 seats, Congress won only eight seats and was pushed to third place, while the SAD won only ‘one seat.
