Chandigarh, Nov. 15 -- Mayor Harpreet Babla and the councillors of Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) are at loggerheads over the attendance in a key development meeting held on Friday, where only one Opposition councillor -- Gurpreet Singh Gabi of the Congress -- was present. The Opposition had decided to boycott the meeting after the mayor had failed to invite them to a similar meeting on November 12. On Friday, Babla strongly condemned the Opposition over their absence, stating, "This is not merely a political boycott, it is a direct dereliction of duty and a grave insult to the voters of Chandigarh."
