Present political Scenario:

Why BJP may find it difficult?

It is widely believed that Satyapal Jain, the former two time MP from here suggested Kirron Kher’s name as a compromise formula between the three factions and the party high command accepted it. Although Chandigarh is a very cosmopolitan city, voters here do not take very well to “outsiders”, so it may be a difficult task for Mrs Kher to defeat the much tainted Pawan Kumar Bansal.

May play the role of spoilsport
AAP may not find much resonance here, but Gul Panag may get some crucial anti-Congress votes, further hurting the BJP.
