Anup Gupta

The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) candidate Anup Gupta on Tuesday won the Chandigarh Mayor election by defeating Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) candidate Jasbir Singh by just one vote. Out of 29 total seats, BJP bagged 15 seats while AAP won 14 seats.

The Congress, which has six councilors, and Shiromani Akali Dal, which has one councilor, abstained from voting, which made it easier for the BJP to win. A first-time councilor, Gupta was elected in 2021 from Ward 11.

Anup Gupta has previously held the post of Deputy Mayor. He had also held the post of BJP secretary. He is considered a close aide of all top BJP leaders, including Sanjay Tandon, Arun Sood and MP Kirron Kher.

Similar to last year, the BJP defeated the AAP by just one vote to win the position of mayor of the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation. Both BJP and AAP have 14 councillors each in the House, while Chandigarh’s MP, who at present is BJP’s Kirron Kher, also has a vote as an ex-officio member of the municipal corporation House.

Last year, each party received 14 votes. However, one vote for AAP candidate Anju Katyal was ruled illegal, allowing Sarabjit Kaur of the BJP to win the election. Gurcharan Jeet Singh Kala, a Congress councilor, switched parties in June 2022, bringing the BJP’s strength in the house to 14, making the race for mayor a tough fight.

Voting for the Chandigarh mayor’s election began at 11 am on Tuesday in the assembly hall of the municipal corporation.

Currently, the Municipal Corporation has 35 councilors.
