BJP or Congress, whose pie city will be filled with beautiful votes?
Chandigarh, a city located in the Siwalik Hills and known for its captivating architecture, is known for its beauty. Being the capital of Punjab and Haryana, its natural beauty attracts everyone, but the political climate here is not pleasant either. The smart city, which often becomes a battleground between the two states, has only one Lok Sabha constituency (General). It has 6,46,729 voters. The literacy rate here is 86.43%. Now the question arises why all the political parties try every time to win this one constituency. Let's find out what this seat has to worry politicians. History of Chandigarh Lok Sabha Constituency: This constituency came into existence in 1967 and has an interesting history. The history of City Beautiful Chandigarh is about 8000 years old. The Harappan people, the world's first culture, are said to have lived here. The city was very prosperous during the Middle Ages. It was then a part of Punjab province. When the country became independent in 1947, along with India and Pakistan, Chandigarh was divided into two regions, one of which became Western Province and the other East Punjab. Sanjay Tandon, Congress (All India candidate) Manish Tiwari, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) Hardeep Singh Putrela and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) who tested their luck in Chandigarh? By Ritu Singh who contested the elections. Hardeep Singh Putrela joined the Aam Aadmi Party at the last moment claiming discrimination. Now the direct competition is between BJP and All India. Talking about the BJP, it has fielded Sanjay Tandon while carving out the ticket of sitting MP and Bollywood personality Kiron Kher. Congress has bet on Manish Tiwari after ignoring last time's candidate Pawan Bansal. This time the political environment of Chandigarh has changed. However, before 2014, the Congress was ruling this Lok Sabha constituency. In the 2019 election, Kiron Kher won by a margin of 46,850 votes. He secured 2,31,188 votes. Pawan Bansal of Congress got 1,84,218 votes. But this time both of them did not get tickets. Now with the candidature of Manish Tiwari the political scenario has completely changed. At the same time, Sanjay getting the ticket is very surprising. Can Manish turn his birthplace into a workplace? Manish Tiwari Sri Anandpur Sahib MP Before this, he also won the Ludhiana constituency and landed in the kitty of the Congress. Like the last two times, this time his seat has been changed. Manish is very excited about this. The reason behind his passion is also very convincing. Chandigarh is the birthplace of Manish Tiwari. Born and brought up here, he also studied political ABCD from here during his college days. Recently, on TV9's Bharatvarsha show Satta Sammelan, Tiwari got emotional after buying a ticket from this seat. He had said that the blood of his family was found in the soil of Chandigarh. He was lucky to get a ticket from Chandigarh. Like every other time, this time he will win this constituency and keep the party. Don't let your loved ones' resentment spoil the game! There are also speculations that senior Congress leader Pawan Bansal is unhappy with Manish Tiwari getting a seat. Those who sense the direction of the political winds say that no matter how confident Tiwari is of his victory, Bansal could spoil his game. Bansal's vote bank is strong in Chandigarh. If he refuses to support Tiwari, his challenges may increase. But Manish Tiwari had said in the power conference that he was not angry. However, Bansal's disappearance during the entire election campaign raises questions over Manish's claims. However, every party makes demands and promises at election time. How much truth there is in their claims will soon be known.
