Knives out in Chandigarh BJP camp, day after poll debacle

As per party insiders, seven leaders – most of them ticket aspirants themselves -- have been identified against whom action is to be sought. Tandon, a poll debutant and a former president of the saffron party’s city unit, had replaced two-time Member of Parliament Kirron Kher as the BJP candidate from the city after she opted out of the election. The party had also seen a dip in vote share – from 50.64% in the 2019 general elections to 47.7% now.
