Punjab minister Aman Arora emerged victorious in the latest political contest held in Jalandhar, defeating his principal rival Charnjeet Channi. The result, reported by local media, marks a significant win for Arora in a constituency where the opposition had been actively campaigning.
The victory also came amid heightened scrutiny, as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had been probing matters linked to the region's political dynamics. Arora publicly rejected any implication of wrongdoing, stating that the investigation was politically motivated.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which had earlier voiced concerns over Arora's conduct, also faced a setback as the minister's win underscored his continued support among voters. No further details on vote margins or subsequent legal steps were disclosed at the time of reporting.
