Will Devinder Singh Bablas’ switchover benefit AAP?: The exit of senior Congress leader Devinder Singh Babla and his councillor wife Harpreet Kaur from the party may benefit AAP if Babla’s wife is fielded as the Mayor candidate by the BJP.

The Mayor’s post is reserved for a woman in the first year. There are speculations that Harpreet may be the BJP choice for the post.

Sources said the decision might benefit AAP that needs five votes to prove its majority and elect its Mayor since the possibility of Congress councillors voting for the AAP candidate to ensure Harpreet’s defeat could not be ruled out.
