Election results on Thursday will show if the BJP is able to buck the anti-incumbency trend in Himachal Pradesh. The hill state has not returned any incumbent government to power after 1985.
Going by this almost 40-year-old trend, it is Congress’ turns to take the reigns of the hill state this time but BJP by now has made a habit of bucking such trends by getting re-elected in Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Assam, and Uttarakhand
Exit polls are predicting a neck to neck contest between BJP and Congress in Himachal Pradesh.
