Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday thanked the people of Himachal Pradesh for giving a decisive mandate to his party in the hill state. He assured that the Congress government will fulfill all poll promises. In Himachal Pradesh, Congress has so far won in 32 assembly constituencies and is currently leading on seven seats, according to the latest figures published by the Election Commission of India.
“My heartfelt thanks to the people of Himachal Pradesh for this decisive victory. Heartiest congratulations to all Congress workers and leaders. Your hard work and dedication truly deserve the best wishes for this victory. I assure you again, we will fulfill every promise made to the public as soon as possible,” he said in a tweet in Hindi.
Congress has won in Arki, Baijnath, Barsar, Bhattiyat, Chamba, Chintpurni, Dharampur, Dharamshala, Doon, Fatehpur, Gagret, Ghumarwin, Haroli, Indora, Jaisinghpur, Jawalamukhi, Jawali, Jubbal-Kotkhai, Kasauli, Kotkhai, Kasumpti, Kinnaur, Kullu, Kutlehar, Lahaul & Spiti, Manali, Nagrota, Nahan, Palampur, Rampur, Rohru, Shahpur, Shillai, Shimla, Shimla Rural, Solan, Sri Renukaji, Sujanpur, and Theog assembly constituency. It is leading in Nadaun and on its way to win a total of 40 out of 68 assembly seats in the hill state.
Minutes after, Gandhi said Congress “humbly accepts” the mandate of the people of Gujarat.
“We will restructure, work hard and continue to fight for the ideals of the country and the rights of the people of the state,” he said.
Congress’s disastrous performance in the 2022 Gujarat assembly elections may get it restricted to mere 17 seats, as per latest figures published by the ECI. The BJP registered a record-extending win in Gujarat and set to break its all-time record in state for winning the highest number of seats.
