All the parties have geared up for the Punjab Municipal Corporation elections. Municipal elections are to be held in Punjab on 21 December. For this, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has released the list of its candidates for the Patiala Municipal Corporation elections. The list includes the names of 60 candidates. There are a total of 60 wards in Patiala Municipal Corporation, for which the BJP has declared candidates for all the wards.

Earlier, a meeting of BJP leaders was held in Chandigarh. The meeting was chaired by Vijay Rupani. Many names were discussed in it. After this, the candidates for Patiala were announced. Meanwhile, on Tuesday, former Akali Dal MLA NK Sharma, former Mayor Amarinder Singh Bajaj, District President Amit Singh Rathi and other leaders held a meeting and attacked the Punjab government fiercely. They said that earlier the AAP government of Punjab pushed in the elections of Sarpanch and Panch. There is a danger that this time in the municipal elections too, candidates of other parties may face opposition on the strength of the police administration, but all the workers of Akali Dal are fully prepared and will fight the elections together. It was alleged that no development work is being done in Punjab. People are completely fed up with this government. Akali leaders claimed that the party will win the elections and the mayor of Patiala will be from Akali Dal.

Two candidates filed nomination

Two nominations were filed on Tuesday for the general elections and by-elections of Municipal Corporation, Municipal Council and Nagar Panchayats, while not a single nomination was filed on the first day on Monday. Patiala's ADC Rural Development cum Additional District Election Officer Anuprita Johal said that only two candidates have filed their nominations in Nagar Panchayat Bhadason.
