Haryana Assembly Speaker and local MLA Gian Chand Gupta said the BJP was ready for the elections and the Panchkula city was likely to get the new Mayor by the last week of December. The BJP interested people in contesting the elections for various wards of the Municipal Corporation in the city to file their application by December 2.

He said candidates would be screened before a final list was released. Meanwhile, aspirants have already started meeting the MLA. Senior party leaders are awaiting the arrival of election observer Captain Abhimanyu, who will hold discussions over the organisational matters and ticket aspirants.

In the previous MC elections, only three BJP candidates — CB Goel, Sunil Talwar, and Ravi Kant Swamy — had won. Later, Swamy joined the Congress. However, the party increased its tally to three as Krishna Lamba joined the BJP.

As Ward No 3 has been reserved for women, Goel’s daughter-in-law will be contesting the election this time. Former Deputy Mayor Sunil Talwar will be contesting from Ward No 5 while the area of Krishna Lamba has been merged into the Kalka-Pinjore Municipal Council.
