BJP's Manoj Sonkar on Tuesday defeated AAP's Kuldeep Kumar in the mayoral elections in Chandigarh.

AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday attributed BJP candidate Manoj Sonkar's win in the Chandigarh mayoral elections to "cheating in broad daylight". In his first reaction to the development, he said if the BJP could "stoop so low" in mayoral elections, it can go to any extent to win the Lok Sabha elections.

"The manner in which cheating has been done in broad daylight in the Chandigarh Mayor elections, is extremely worrying. If these people can stoop so low in a mayor's election, then they can go to any extent in the country's elections. This is very worrying," Kejriwal wrote on X in Hindi.
