Political Clash Erupts in Chandigarh Over Dr. Ambedkar’s Legacy

A heated exchange erupted during the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation&rsquo;s general house meeting as Congress and BJP councillors clashed over Dr. BR Ambedkar's legacy.
The confrontation began when Anil Masih, the poll officer accused of tampering with ballot papers during the mayoral elections, targeted Congress and accused Rahul Gandhi of being out on bail due to the National Herald case. This sparked a brawl among Congress, AAP, and BJP members.
Congress and AAP councillors moved a motion demanding the resignation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah. In response, BJP members accused Congress of disrespecting Dr. Ambedkar, particularly during Jawaharlal Nehru's time as Prime Minister.

&nbsp;
The BJP also claimed Congress was distorting Mr. Shah's recent Rajya Sabha speech to tarnish his image. Senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad criticized Congress for allegedly staging a "smear campaign" against Shah. He accused the party of hypocrisy, stating that while Congress had insulted Dr. Ambedkar during his life, it was now trying to exploit his legacy for political gain.
The BJP demanded an apology from Congress for its historical treatment of Dr. Ambedkar. In response, Congress launched a weeklong nationwide campaign, "Ambedkar Samman Saptah," to honor Dr. Ambedkar's contributions. Party members are holding marches and press conferences to emphasize his legacy and hold Amit Shah accountable for his recent comments.

BJP's Kuljeet Singh Sandhu elected Chandigarh senior deputy mayor

Last month, the Supreme Court overturned the results of mayor election and declared AAP's Kuldeep Kumar the winner.&nbsp;

BJP's Kuljeet Singh Sandhu was elected to the post of senior deputy mayor in repolls in the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation on Monday.
Election to the post of deputy mayor is underway.
Sandhu secured 19 votes while Congress' Gurpreet Gabi got 16 votes. One vote was declared invalid.
The result was announced by the mayor.
In the 35-member municipal House, the BJP has 17 councillors. The number of BJP's strength increased from 14 to 17 after three AAP councillors switched over to it on February 19. The AAP has 10 members while the Congress has seven. The Shiromani Akali Dal has one councillor.
Chandigarh MP Kirron Kher, who is a BJP member, also has voting rights as an ex-officio member of the corporation.
The Supreme Court on February 20 had overturned the January 30 results of the Chandigarh mayoral poll in which the BJP candidate had emerged an unlikely winner, and declared defeated AAP-Congress alliance candidate Kuldeep Kumar as the city's new mayor.
The process for election for the two posts is being conducted by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) councillor Kumar who recently assumed the charge of Chandigarh mayor. In the January 30 poll, BJP's Manoj Sonkar had defeated Kumar to become mayor.
Alleging tampering of ballots, councillors of the AAP and the Congress boycotted the elections to the posts of senior deputy mayor and deputy mayor, leading to the victory of Sandhu and Rajinder Sharma then.
This time too the BJP has fielded Sharma for the post of deputy mayor. He is up against Congress' Nirmala Devi.

Chandigarh mayor resigns before SC hearing, 3 AAP councillors join BJP

Three AAP councillors, Neha, Poonam and Gurcharan Kala, joined the BJP, a move that would tilt the scales in favour of the saffron party if fresh mayoral polls are held.

BJP leader Manoj Sonkar resigned as Chandigarh mayor and three AAP councillors joined the saffron party on Sunday, a day before the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear a plea alleging irregularities in the recently held mayoral polls.
Sonkar has submitted his resignation to the municipal commissioner, said Chandigarh BJP president Jatinder Pal Malhotra.
The Congress and the AAP do not have an alliance and are only befooling the public. They will be exposed before the public, Malhotra told PTI.
Meanwhile, senior BJP leader Arun Sood said three AAP councillors -- Neha, Poonam and Gurcharan Kala -- joined the BJP in the presence of senior party leader Vinod Tawde.
Sood was also present when the three councillors joined the BJP.
The three AAP councillors switching sides is set to tilt the scales in favour of the BJP whenever fresh mayoral polls are held.

Sonkar had defeated the AAP's Kuldeep Kumar for the mayor's post, polling 16 votes against his rival's 12. Eight votes were declared invalid.
Kumar had later moved the Supreme Court.
On February 5, the Supreme Court had rapped the returning officer who conducted the Chandigarh mayoral polls, observing that it was obvious that he defaced the ballot papers and that he should be prosecuted, adding that his action amounted to "murder and mockery" of democracy.
The court had also ordered preservation of ballots and the video of the poll proceedings besides seeking the returning officer's personal appearance during the next hearing in the case on February 19.
An appalled Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud, who headed a three-judge division bench, had said the court would not allow democracy to be murdered like this and that the apex court would order fresh elections if not satisfied with the purity of the poll process.
The AAP and the Congress had hailed the court's observations, saying it was a "tight slap" on the face of the BJP.
Opposition councillors had earlier alleged that Presiding Officer Anil Masih tampered with the ballot papers, a charge rubbished by the BJP.
