Kuldeep Kumar lost to the BJP's Manoj Sonkar in the Chandigarh mayoral election.
After the shocking setback in what was billed as the first major contest between the BJP and the INDIA alliance, the AAP's candidate for the Chandigarh mayoral elections broke down and began weeping in front of the cameras. Videos show Kuldeep Kumar, who was the candidate for the mayor's post and was defeated by the BJP's Manoj Sonkar, continuing to shed tears even as people around him consoled him and shouted slogans.
In the elections held on Tuesday, the BJP contested against an alliance of the AAP and the Congress, both of which are key constituents of the INDIA bloc. Ahead of the polls, senior AAP leader Raghav Chadha had predicted a "historic and decisive" win for the alliance, which, he said, would set the tone for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
