The Chandigarh Mayor elections saw intense political maneuvering as Congress and AAP accused BJP of trying to manipulate the polls. Congress leader Pawan Bansal alleged BJP's attempt to break other parties and make their majority. Scuffles between BJP, AAP, and Congress workers were reported. The presiding officer's hospitalization raised suspicions of BJP's intention to postpone the election, leading to AAP and Congress approaching the High Court. The election was eventually postponed to February 6, with the INDIA alliance claiming a clear majority.
