Mohali ward delimitation sparks political tensions
In Mohali, the boundaries of the wards (areas for elections) are being redrawn.
This could change how people vote in the next civic elections.
The Congress party, which currently runs the city, says the new boundaries are being changed to help the AAP party win more seats.
They say this is not fair.
The AAP party says the changes are normal because the city has grown.
Both parties are arguing about it, and it might affect the elections next year.
Proposed ward delimitation in Mohali may alter electoral equations ahead of 2026 civic polls.
Congress accuses AAP of manipulating ward boundaries to gain an advantage in upcoming elections.
AAP argues that the delimitation is necessary due to the expansion of the municipal corporation's area.
Congress leaders claim the process is unfair and influenced by political pressure.
The controversy has raised concerns among sitting and former councillors about their electoral prospects.
