Gujarat poll 2017, HP election: The voting phases for both Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat now over and both Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi are anxiously waiting for the final results of the polls. The state of Himachal Pradesh had voted on 9 November 2017 for 68 seat assembly. The Congress campaign was led by incumbent chief minister Virbhadra Singh, while the BJP march was anchored by former CM Prem Kumar Dhumal. However, it is Gujarat which had turned into an electoral combat zone for both BJP and Congress. It is a ‘battle of prestige’ between PM Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi. On one hand, where, PM Modi wants to cement his dominance in the state virtually for over a quarter of a century, on the other hand, Rahul Gandhi is looking to prove his mettle. However, as per exit polls, BJP will sweep both the states. Notably, Facebook came out with data on the social engagement during the elections from October 12 to December 12. Who will win and who will lose? The answer that we have for you is talk on social media. Go figure!
