Congress Forms Key Chandigarh Committees Ahead of Municipal Corporation Elections
Ahead of December's Chandigarh municipal corporation elections, the Congress party has formed two key committees: the Political Affairs Committee, including former MP Pawan Kumar Bansal, and the State Election Committee, led by sitting MP Manish Tewari. This arrangement aims to balance influence between the Bansal and Tewari camps. The Pradesh Election Committee will recommend candidates for councillor posts, reflecting a consensus-based approach. Recent shifts include AAP councillors joining Congress, strengthening its position ahead of the polls.
