After the Congress and Aam Aadmi Party decided to jointly contest the Chandigarh Mayor elections on January 18, AAP MP Raghav Chadha on Tuesday said that this election will change the picture and direction of politics, adding "This will be the first match of BJP vs INDIA bloc."
Pawan Kumar Bansal told ANI that both parties were discussing the same, and it was decided that the AAP will contest the Mayor's post while the Congress would contest the remaining two.
With only three days left in the high-stake Chandigarh mayoral elections, poaching fear has gripped the major parties and has forced parties to shift their councillors to other states as a defensive measure.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have 14 councillors each, while Congress has six councillors, making the situation surrounding Chandigarh's mayoral election interesting.
