Chandigarh
The strategy to defeat the opposition coalition has failed for the Bharatiya Janata Party. It was an indirect election in which only 35 city council members could vote. However, the Chandigarh mayoral election turned out to be the epitome of serious electoral mistakes that have the potential to undermine democracy. India’s Supreme Court declares Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate Kuldeep Kumar a duly elected mayor, while exposing unrecognized anxieties in India’s larger election scene did . In other words, it is the role of public servants and political parties in facilitating election fraud. It means counting.
Returning Anil Masi’s act of marking and defacing ballot papers was not only caught on camera but also turned out to be a ploy to invalidate votes validly cast in Kumar’s favor. . Mr. Masi is a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and appears to have committed illegal acts to help Bharatiya Janata Party candidate Manoj Sonkar win the mayoral election.It actually backfired. He will proceed to prosecute him for making false statements in court. Ever since Masi caused controversy by declaring eight votes invalid and declaring Sonkar the winner, he has tried to make the issue more outrageous by claiming that the votes were invalid because they had been edited.
His claims were found to be false as the court found no evidence of defacement on the ballots.When Sonkar resigned on the eve of the hearing, the court was wary that the Bharatiya Janata Party might be looking for reasons to hold fresh elections. By then, Sonkar had already won three AAP councilors as his supporters. Sidepull, a development that could affect the new mayor’s job. The court warned against subverting the democratic process through “deception”. It was therefore logical that a new election would not be ordered, but it was decided to proceed with the original vote, taking into account the valid votes that were illegally declared invalid.
There is little doubt that this development is a setback for the Bharatiya Janata Party, which has resorted to fraud that undermines its cooperation with the Congress and the AAP, which is part of India’s opposition alliance and had an alliance in local elections. It seems that BJP president J.P. Nadda had hoped the election results would highlight failures in both arithmetic and chemistry in the opposition coalition, but now he has to deal with the party’s loss of face. Indeed, the court was justified in using its special powers to objectively determine who actually won the election. Masih’s prosecution also needs to find out on whose orders such blatant fraud was carried out.
