Himachal Pradesh Assembly elections

BJP accepts mandate, to play strong opposition in Himachal

“While playing the role of a constructive Opposition, our party will extend full cooperation and support to the state government for pro-people decisions. However, if the need arises it will not hesitate to oppose anti-people decisions,” BJP's Chief Spokesperson Randhir Sharma said.

Counting of votes for assembly elections in Gujarat, Himachal on Thursday

Counting for bypolls to the Mainpuri Lok Sabha seat and six Assembly constituencies in five states will also be taken up simultaneously. These Assembly constituencies are Rampur and Khatauli in Uttar Pradesh, Padampur in Odisha, Sardarshahar in Rajasthan, Kurhani in Bihar and Bhanupratappur in Chhattisgarh.

Polls and consequences

During every election, some small fries are caught ferrying cash, liquor etc. but effective action like disqualification of the candidate or deregistration of the political party is never taken against parties and candidates at whose behest the electoral laws are broken. Also, all political parties, when in power, have tried their best to hide the identities of their donors, so that allegations of quid-pro-quo cannot be proved against the Government.
