Chandigarh, August 31, 2025:- The Chandigarh Pradesh Congress Committee today staged a strong protest in Dadu Majra Colony against the shameful neglect of roads and the worsening civic infrastructure under the BJP-led Municipal Corporation. Residents of the colony have been forced to suffer due to broken, pothole-ridden roads that have not been carpeted for years, leading to repeated accidents and daily hardships.
Hundreds of colony residents and party workers carrying placards, party flags and banners marched and raised slogans against the Bjp led Municipal corporation .
Addressing the gathering, H.S. Lucky, President of the Chandigarh Pradesh Congress Committee, came down heavily on the BJP for turning the Municipal Corporation into a hub of mismanagement and financial chaos. He reminded everyone that during Congress rule, the Municipal Corporation maintained a fixed deposit of over ₹500 crore, ensuring stability and adequate funds for development. Today, under BJP's control, the MC is reeling under a financial crisis, unable even to carry out basic civic work.
Lucky pointed out that 9 out of the last 10 Mayors have belonged to the BJP, and it is their series of faulty decisions, misplaced priorities, and financial blunders that have brought the Corporation to its knees. He said that the BJP must answer why the MC, once financially sound under Congress, is now neck-deep in liabilities. It is their governance that has completely deteriorated the functioning of the MC and pushed Chandigarh into this mess.
He also condemned the BJP's attempts to claim credit for the recently allocated ₹125 crore. He reminded that during Congress rule, such additional grants were often received, but Congress never turned them into a publicity stunt. He stressed that this money should be used exclusively for development and not to pay off outstanding dues. Lucky added that the BJP leaders went to the Administator only to stage a drama, whereas the money was directly credited to the MC's account. Their theatrics cannot hide the truth of their failure.
The protest program was organized by chandigarh congress spokesperson Narendra Chaudhary and Block Congress Committee President Prince, with the participation of several leaders from Dadu Majra and Senior Deputy Mayor Jasbir Bunty and Deputy Mayor Taruna Mehta. They unanimously held the BJP-led MC responsible for the pitiable state of civic amenities and declared that Congress will not remain silent if road recarpeting does not begin immediately after the monsoon.
In a significant political development earlier in the day, Indal Yadav from Purvanchal, along with 100 supporters, joined the Congress party in the presence of H.S. Lucky and Kripanand Thakur at Congress Bhawan, Sector 35, Chandigarh, expressing confidence that Congress will sweep the 2026 Municipal Elections.
Later, appointment letters were also distributed to new office bearers of the Congress Minority Department by H.S. Lucky, in the presence of Asif Chaudhary, Chairman of the Minority Department, for further strengthening the organization at the grassroots level in a separate program.
