India – Raipur (Chhattisgarh) – December 8: Bhupesh Baghel, the Congress election observer for the Himalaya Pradesh Assembly elections, expressed hopes of establishing a coalition in the hill state, judging by the ongoing ECI developments.He expressed reservations about the Congress MLAs' horse-trading, according to mediapersons.Though Congress is leading in most Himalayan constituencies, there is a neck-and-neck competition in other areas.In his address to mediapersons in Raipur, Bhupesh Baghel said we should wait until the election results are announced as the counting process is already underway.
Baghel said that the Himachal Pradesh MLAs should be transported to Raipur amid horse-trading fears.In the first result to emerge out of Himachal, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won by a total of 29432 votes over Congress Sohan Lal, who received 21307 votes.We should wait till the results are announced because Gujarat is a large state and therefore should have comparatively many rounds, according to the exit polls.The BJP, in the case of Gujarat, will not only thrash its own record of 127 seats in the 2002 Assembly elections, but also break the BJP's record of 149 seats established in 1985, according to the exit polls.While there are 68 counting halls in 59 districts around the state, the state held assembly elections in Gujarat on December 1 and 5. While voting for 68 assembly seats in Himachal Pradesh began on November 12, the projected voter turnout in Himachal Pradesh was 75.6 percent, topping the 2017 record.In comparison, the exit polls predicted that BJP would keep Himachal Pradesh ahead of Congress in the battle for control.One exit poll said that while BJP has had a tradition of re-establishing governments in Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stayed in the Chief Ministers post for the longest time before becoming Prime Minister.In the last assembly elections in 2017, Congress faced a tough challenge from the ruling BJP.However, the AAP could destabilize the game for Congress by taking away a large vote share in their favour.
