Chandigarh, January 6
Ahead of the Mayoral elections, both 'rebel' BJP councillors today returned to the party fold.
After the announcement of the mayoral candidates, Chandrawati Shukla and Bharat Kumar had revolted against the party.
The BJP had declared Ravi Kant Sharma as the candidate for the post of Mayor and Maheshinder Singh Sidhu and Farmila as the candidates for the posts of Senior Deputy Mayor and Deputy Mayor, respectively.
In a statement, state BJP general secretary Rambir Bhatti stated that a meeting of the BJP councillors was held to decide the upcoming strategy for the election for the posts of Mayor, Senior Deputy Mayor and Deputy Mayor in the Municipal Corporation.
State BJP president Arun Sood, state organisational general secretary Dinesh Kumar and all 19 councillors of the party attended this meeting, Bhatti added.
Heera Negi could not attend the meeting today because she was admitted to a hospital after contracting coronavirus, said Bhatti.
"Heera Negi will be present on January 8 when voting will be held for the three posts. Besides, if doctors are satisfied with the health of MP Kirron Kher, then she will also come to cast her vote on the polling day," Bhatti added.
"The BJP councillors stand with the party like a true soldier," said Bhatti. — TNS
