Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, December 24, 2025: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) suffered a political setback in Chandigarh on Tuesday as two of its councillors joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the mayoral elections. The councillors who switched allegiance are Suman Devi and Poonam Devi.
Their move comes at a crucial time, just before the elections for the post of Mayor in the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation, and is expected to impact the political equations in the city.
With the mayoral polls approaching, the defection of the two councillors is being seen as a significant development in Chandigarh’s local political landscape.
