Claim: Amidst the farmers' protests, BJP has bagged 20 seats in Chandigarh Municipal Corporation elections.
Fact-check: 2016 Chandigarh Municipal elections results shared as those during the ongoing farmers' protests - FACTLY
Verdict: 2016 chandigarh municipal corporation election results are being shared now as if they took place recently. the recent mayoral election held on 8 january 2021 is being miscontrued as elections to the corporation. elections for the chandigarh municipal corporation were held in 2016 and the house will complete its five-year term at the end of 2021. as per the punjab municipal corporation act, 1976, the mayor of the corporation holds one year term and is elected every year from among the elected representatives. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
