Himachal Pradesh election results explained: The failure of the leadership will be the message that would be coming from the BJP camp – Jai Ram Thakur, ...

But the party candidates failed to win many of them, said a party leader. “In around 20 seats, the national leaders did not pay any heed to the requests of the state leadership,” said a source. If the trends turn out to be results, it will be seen as the reflection of a sentiment against the BJP in the state and the yearning for change across the state. There are about 2.5 lakh government employees in the state, and out of them 1.5 lakh are covered under the New Pension Scheme. Many voters had pointed out that Thakur was not able to find his feet in the state unit which has witnessed a tussle between the Nadda camp and those close to Prem Kumar Dhumal. A source close to Thakur blamed the national leadership’s strategies to keep out a number of “party leaders who worked hard with Thakur for five years” in the ticket distribution.

The victory is important for the Congress for the simple reason that it gives the party a third state to govern.

In a state that also sends a high number of jawans to the Indian army, and was a site of major protests when the Agnipath scheme was announced, there was also a level of disillusionment and discontentment arising from the scheme’s implications for the young. All of this means that the party will have to both retain its organisational coherence and deliver reasonably competent governance if it wants to live up to the mandate it has received. Taken together , it is clear that while the mandate may not be a ringing endorsement of the Congress and the election was competitive, it does mark a shift away from the BJP. In a state with 250,000 government employees, the Congress’s promise of restoring the old pension scheme — where the government took care of the entire amount as opposed to the new scheme which involves both employee and government contribution — struck a chord. One must be cautious in extrapolating a big political message from the Himachal elections for there is a clear disjunct between the difference in the vote share between the two parties and the difference in the number of seats.
