Election process vitiated, says SC & orders fresh polls in 50 wards in AAP-ruled Punjab. The Supreme Court has ordered holding fresh elections in 50 wards in the Patiala and Moga districts of Punjab, noting that the electoral process held in December 2024 was vitiated. Several candidates had alleged that AAP, which governs Punjab, prevented them from filing nominations. A fact-finding committee noted that nomination papers were snatched, torn, and candidates were threatened.
