Protests erupt outside Kasba Police station as 3 arrested in alleged Kolkata college gang rape
The mayoral elections in Chandigarh, originally scheduled for today, were abruptly postponed due to the presiding officer's illness, leading the Congress to accuse the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of orchestrating a failed 'Operation Lotus.'
Congress alleges that the postponement is a result of the BJP's inability to accept their anticipated defeat, with the term 'Operation Lotus' referring to the BJP's alleged strategies to destabilize governments through defections. Chandigarh Congress chief H S Lucky stated that the BJP lost morally by abstaining from voting, signaling their apprehension over the potential outcome.
