The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced a significant change for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections 2024 by selecting Sanjay Tandon over the incumbent MP Kirron Kher for the Chandigarh Lok Sabha seat. This decision has sparked discussions, as Kirron Kher, a well-known actor, has been dropped from the ticket in favor of Tandon, a local face with a history of working closely with key BJP leaders for five years. Sanjay Tandon expressed his gratitude towards Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and party chief JP Nadda for the opportunity to represent Chandigarh and pledged to secure a win for the party. Priya Tandon, Sanjay's wife, also expressed gratitude towards God and the party's senior leadership for this opportunity. The announcement is part of the BJP's broader strategy, as revealed on April 10, which included the release of a list of candidates for seven parliamentary seats in Uttar Pradesh alongside the Chandigarh constituency.
