Himachal Pradesh Elections 2022: The Congress party, which has already taken a significant lead over the incumbent BJP in Himachal Pradesh, has decided to move all of its newly elected party legislators to Jaipur out of concern about BJP “poaching” activities. Congress sources claim that the main opposition party has already sent Rajiv Shukla and other important figures to ensure the security of the newly elected legislators from the party. After the first rounds of counting in the hill state, initial trends indicate that the Congress party is ahead on 38 seats. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, general secretary of the Congress, has also arrived at her farm house outside of Shimla, where she will meet with state party leaders to examine the political climate.
Around 11.45 a.m., it had reached the halfway point and was ahead by 38 seats. In 27 seats, the BJP was in the lead; in contrast, the Independents were ahead in three.
Hoshiyar Singh from Dehra, Hiteshwar Singh from Banjar in Kullu, and Ashish from Hamirpur Sadar, formerly the bastion of twice-elected chief minister Prem Kumar Dhumal, are independents and all BJP rebels.
