In the trends so far in Himachal Pradesh, the Congress government seems to be forming. For this, all the MLAs have been asked to come to the Congress office immediately after the victory. From there they can be shifted somewhere outside.

If party sources are to be believed, the high command has appointed Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel and former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda as observers for Himachal Pradesh. There is information that both these leaders will reach Shimla in some time. Himachal Congress in-charge Rajeev Shukla is also coming to Shimla with him.

According to sources, Congress may take all the MLAs who won the elections out of the state to other states, so that they can be kept away from the contact of BJP leaders. The MLAs can be sent to Chhattisgarh or Rajasthan. However, the situation regarding this is not clear yet.

Sources reveal that if the Congress gets a massive majority, all the MLAs will remain in their respective constituencies. However, this time the final decision will be taken by the high command. In case of getting seats less than or around 40, the Congress party will keep a close watch on all the MLAs.

Congress General Secretary Vikramaditya Singh said that the Congress government is being formed in the state. He said that BJP is a messed up party, but we have learned a lot from mistakes. Vikramaditya Singh said that Pratibha Singh is the Chief Minister’s face. Before this there will be a discussion in the Legislature Party. The final decision will be taken by the party high command.

From the airport they will go directly to Hotel Radisson. There is to be a strategic discussion with senior Congress leaders regarding the situation in Himachal. If the need is felt, he will also leave for Shimla. Keeping the Congress Legislature Party united there is going to be the biggest challenge for the party right now.

In this regard, Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel said that the counting of votes is going on in Himachal. Our government is visible there. On the question of bringing newly elected Himachal MLAs to Raipur, he said that he will not bring them here, but will definitely keep his colleagues safe, because BJP can do anything.
