Arvind Kejriwal's "Like Trump" Warning After AAP, Congress' Poll Loss | Read

Senior Aam Aadmi Party leaders exploded Tuesday after the Bharatiya Janata Party cantered to a surprisingly comfortable win in the Chandigarh mayoral election. Party boss Arvind Kejriwal accused the BJP of "dishonesty", Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said democracy had been "looted", and Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha labelled the poll results "an act of treason (desh droh)". The BJP's Manoj Sonkar was elected Mayor after winning 16 of a possible 36 votes. The AAP's Kuldeep Kumar was second with 12. Eight were deemed "invalid" and are at the heart of a row, with the AAP accusing presiding officer Anil Masih - a member of the BJP's Minority Cell - of invalidating ballots.
Physical confrontations and a crying AAP candidate followed the poll results.
