BJP leader Manoj Sonkar resigned as Chandigarh mayor late last evening, a day ahead of the Supreme Court hearing in the alleged tampering in the mayoral election. He won the poll - seen as the first election battle against the INDIA bloc by defeating the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) Kuldeep Kumar - less than a month ago, on January 30.
The BJP secured 16 votes and Kuldeep Singh, the joint candidate of the Congress and AAP was able to manage 12 votes. 8 votes - that became a flashpoint between the BJP and opposition - were declared invalid.
The troubles for the AAP, however, are far from over as three of its councillors - Poonam Devi, Neha and Gurcharan Kala - joined the BJP yesterday. The BJP had 14 councillors in the 35-member Chandigarh Municipal Corporation and after today's additions, the tally is at 17. They also have the support of one Shiromani Akali Dal councillor and BJP's Chandigarh MP Kirron Kher also has voting rights as an ex-officio member which brings BJP to the magic number of 19.
