In Chandigarh, Manish Tewari wins a cliffhanger

Hindustan Times  

The Bharatiya Janata Party’s target of achieving a hat-trick in Chandigarh fell apart on Tuesday, as INDIA bloc candidate Manish Tewari defeated its nominee Sanjay Tandon with a wafer-thin margin of 2,504 votes. The Congress had teamed up with the Aam Aadmi Party to inflict defeat on the BJP, fielding two-time MP and former Union minister Tewari, 58, against poll debutant Tandon, 60. Manish Tewari polled 2,16,657 votes against Tandon’s 2,14,153 votes in a nail-biting finish where his lead swung up and down through the counting process. In the 15 Lok Sabha elections conducted in Chandigarh since 1967, the Congress has clinched victory eight times, while the BJP has secured the UT’s representation four times.
