Chandigarh, November 21: Only two days are left for the filing of nominations for the Municipal Corporation elections. However, the BJP-SAD-CVM alliance is yet to decide on seat sharing.
... Talking to The Tribune, Mr Satya Pal Jain, a former BJP MP, stated that formal talks were on with the other parties. Attributing the delay to the recent sad demise of Sandeep Singh, general secretary of the Chandigarh Vikas Manch (CVM), Mr Jain said a decision would be taken in the coming three-four days.
"It is not that big an issue. In fact in the last MCC elections candidates were announced almost on the last date of filing the nominations," he stated.
According to sources, the BJP is preparing a list of candidates from all 26 wards. "We would, however, announce the candidates only from those wards that the BJP would contest from. We have prepared our cadre to the possibility that some of them might not get ticket after the seat sharing with the alliance," stated Mr Jain. ...
