Defeating Bollywood actress Gul Panag from the AAP party, BJP’s Kirron Kher won the Chandigarh constituency. Kirron won by 69,642 votes.
BJP’s Vinod Khanna defeated Congress President Pratap Singh Bajwa in the Gurdaspur constituency. Looks like, Chulbul Pandey’s Pitaji too has a lot of fan following there.
