AAP dethrones BJP in Chandigarh after 15 years’ rule

Chandigarh, Dec 27: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said the results in Chandigarh have made it clear that people are all set to give a chance to Kejriwal’s model of development and they have broken the arrogance of those who do politics of hatred.  AAP got 14 seats in Chandigarh Municipal Corp. elections held last week, BJP was close behind with 12 and Congress 8. Akali Dal could win just a single Corporator.
Addressing a press conference with AAP’s Punjab chief and MP Bhagwant Mann here on Monday after the MC election results, Sisodia congratulated the people of Chandigarh, the winning candidates and all the leaders, workers and supporters and assured them that the AAP would honor the confidence that people of Chandigarh have shown in them. It will be as good as Delhi.
He said that the Delhi government under the leadership of national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had ushered in a new era of ‘work politics’ in the country’s politics. Today, Kejriwal’s development model is spreading across the country. The results in Chandigarh are a clear indication of this, as during the election campaign the AAP appealed to the people of Chandigarh to give ‘a chance to Kejriwal’ and the people of Chandigarh rejected the BJP and the Congress.

Sisodia also said that the people of Punjab have decided to give a chance to Kejriwal this time. The inclination of the people of Punjab and Delhi towards AAP has also affected the people of Chandigarh.
He said that the mandate passed in Chandigarh after Delhi had dispelled the false propaganda of all the opposition parties in Punjab that the AAP was only a party of rural areas and a special class.
Responding to a media query, the AAP leader said that the Chandigarh trend had shown that the people want the politics of development and hence the good people of other parties who want the development of Chandigarh are warmly welcomed in the AAP.
On this occasion, Bhagwant Mann said that Chandigarh, the city of the most educated and capable people has defeated the current BJP mayor, two former mayors, BJP Yuva Morcha president and Mahila Morcha president and sent a clear message to the whole country Mann said that the first priority of AAP was to restore the status of Chandigarh City Beautiful, which had been lost due to corrupt governance.
