The Congress will for the Government in Himachal Pradesh.
The chief minister and Himachal Pradesh Congress president Pratibha Singh have maintained that their parties would get a full majority with over 40 out of the 68 seats.
Pratibha Singh, who is the wife of former chief minister late Virbhadra Singh, told reporters, “We are confident that results will be in favour of the Congress and we will form the government”.
Himachal Pradesh BJP chief Suresh Kashyap too exuded confidence of retaining power in the state.
“We are confident of winning the election. The BJP will retain power in the state and break the tradition,” Kashyap said referring to the nearly four-decade trend in Himachal Pradesh, where the BJP and the Congress alternate in power every assembly election.
The counting of votes for the 68-member assembly began at 8 am where the ruling BJP is hoping to retain power.
Now it is clear that the Congress is way ahead and is all set to form the Government in Himachal.
