'It is not about first win after I took over': Congress President Kharge reacts to Himachal results

As Congress is set to form government in Himachal Pradesh, president Mallikarjun Kharge said the victory became possible not because he took over as the chief but because of the collaborative efforts of everyone who worked during the polls.

Kharge also thanked the voters for posing faith in the grand old party.

Congress surged ahead of the ruling BJP, winning or leading in 39 of 68 assembly seats.

In the latest results and trends available, the Congress won 26 seats and was leading in 13, while the ruling BJP had registered a win on 14 seats and was leading in 12 others.

Three Independents have also emerged victorious in the state. Himachal Pradesh has not voted any incumbent government to power since 1985.
