Chandigarh, January 30:
In a major political development, Bharatiya Janata Party’s Harpreet Kaur Babla has been elected as the new Mayor of Chandigarh, securing a total of 19 votes. Babla’s win comes after a key instance of cross-voting, which helped her edge out the AAP-Congress I.N.D.I alliance, which received 17 votes. This victory marks a significant achievement for the BJP in the city’s mayoral race.
