INDIA bloc candidate and Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu's wife Kamlesh Thakur today won the Dehra assembly bypoll in Himachal Pradesh while the alliance's AAP secured the Jalandhar West seat and Trinamool Congress took two in West Bengal.

Former Himachal Pradesh minister and BJP leader from Lahaul and Spiti assembly constituency, Ram Lal Markanda, on Tuesday quit the party to protest the fielding of Congress rebel Ravi Thakur who had defeated him on the seat in last assembly election.

The election to one Rajya Sabha seat has upset the power equations in Himachal Pradesh. The Congress, which had a comfortable majority of 40 in a 68-member Assembly, is now firefighting to save its government.

Though the Congress wrested power from the BJP in Himachal Pradesh by winning 40 out of the 68 assembly seats, party candidates had a wafer-thin victory margin of less than 2,000 in 15 seats.

The Congress won 40 seats in Himachal Pradesh, a comfortable majority, with the BJP at 25. AAP didn't win a single seat.

The Congress secured 43.90 per cent vote share as it wrested Himachal Pradesh from the BJP, winning 40 seats in the 68-member Assembly in the hill state which maintained its tradition of voting incumbent government out of power since 1985.

Although Congress wrested power from the BJP in Himachal Pradesh winning 40 out of 68 seats, the party barely scraped by in 15 seats with victory margin there being less than 2,000.

Aam Aadmi Party leader Raghav Chadha congratulated the BJP over its record win in the Gujarat assembly election and expressed disappointment over the party not winning a single seat in Himachal Pradesh.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) which contested the assembly polls in Himachal Pradesh for the first time drew a blank securing just 1.10 per cent of the total votes cast, and in several constituencies polling less than NOTA.

Veteran Congress leader Dhani Ram Shandil retained the Solan seat in Himachal Pradesh, defeating his nearest BJP rival and son-in-law Rajesh Kashyap in assembly poll results announced on Thursday.

Celebrations began in Himachal Pradesh and at the Congress headquarters in New Delhi after the party crossed the majority mark of 35 seats in the state.

As counting of votes for Gujarat Assembly polls began on Thursday, Bharatiya Janata Party candidate Hardik Patel predicted that his party will win over 130 seats, the most by party till date in the Gujarat Assembly elections.

In 2017, the BJP had managed to form the government in the hill state on its own with 44 seats, with the Congress getting just 21 seats despite being close in terms of vote share.

After Himachal, Gujarat too sees large number of rebel BJP candidates; number of those suspended hits 19, meaning rebellion on around 10 per cent of the seats
