AAP-Congress to move Supreme Court over Chandigarh Mayoral polls: CM Mann

A day after the high drama witnessed in the Chandigarh Mayoral poll results, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday said that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress will move to the Supreme Court.

He also called the Chandigarh Mayoral poll "an example of murder of democracy."

"Whatever happened yesterday is an example of the murder of democracy. The budget is coming tomorrow, let's see what Punjab gets. Aam Aadmi Party Punjab and Congress will move to the Supreme Court against the mayoral election", CM Mann said.

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the interim Union Budget on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the members of the Youth Congress staged a protest outside the Mayor's office in Chandigarh on Wednesday.

There was a rift between the protestors and police at the spot. Youth Congress workers were heard chanting the slogan 'Bhrastachar band karo' (Stop the corruption).

However, the police detained the protestors after a while.
