Masih, accused of deliberately defacing 8 ballot papers during Chandigarh mayor poll and contempt of court, has told SC that incessant criticism caused him trauma & anxiety.
Anil Masih is one of the nine councillors nominated in Chandigarh who have links with the BJP. Ideally, nominated councillors should not be affiliated with any political party.
Elections for senior deputy & deputy mayor can happen only after mayor takes oath. AAP trying to get back at least 2 of 3 councillors who joined BJP, to bag the 2 posts, it is learnt.
I’m glad the Chandigarh farce was called out. I’m pleased too that the SC went back to constitutional first principles in electoral bonds case. But don’t expect it to act as a force against the govt.
Declaring AAP-Congress candidate Kuldeep Kumar elected mayor, SC says Anil Masih ‘deliberately defaced ballots’ & issues contempt notice to him for expressing ‘patent falsehood’ in court.
SC was hearing plea of AAP councillor who challenged BJP win in Chandigarh mayoral polls following presiding officer's decision to scrap votes of 8 AAP, Congress councillors.
About 300 employees had called in sick Wednesday, allegedly in protest against mismanagement of airlines. Remaining staff given ultimatum to rejoin work by end of Thursday.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
may this cheater of democracy rot in jail forever…no mercy should be shown to him
