Bypoll Election Results LIVE: Congress leading in 2 assembly seats in Himachal, CM Sukhvinder reacts
On Congress leading on two out of three assembly seats in Himachal Pradesh, CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu says, “People of Himachal gave us 40 seats in 2022… The kind of poaching that happened in state politics in the past, people have given a befitting reply for that. This also gave a message that the people of the state are aware and awake and such poaching will not work… Three independent MLAs had no reason to resign. They could have simply allied with the BJP, but even they learnt their lesson… I had put in my everything for the Dehra constituency… I want to congratulate Kamlesh Thakur for winning the seat… The reason for fielding my wife from Dehra was to make Congress enter Kangra and increase the MLAs of the valley from 9 to 10… All the three seats are a stronghold of BJP and we have won two of them, this is a big deal…”
