Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India], June 4 (ANI): The Bhartiya Janata party is leading in all four seats in Himachal Pradesh, according to the latest trends by the Election Commission of India.

Speaking with ANI, Kangana said, “They will have to suffer the consequences of talking so low about a woman… And that is becoming clear today with the way we have got the lead. Mandi has not taken kindly to the insults for daughters.
“She further said, “As far as my departure to Mumbai is concerned, this (Himachal Pradesh) is my ‘janmabhoomi’ and I will continue to serve people here. I have always said that I will work as a soldier in PM Narendra Modi’s goal of ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas.’ So, I am not going anywhere. Perhaps, someone else will have to pack their bags and leave. I am not going anywhere.”
Meanwhile, Congress candidate Vikramaditya Singh dismissed Exit Poll predictions and said that it was “manufactured by media.
“Today’s verdict will be of India, of Himachal Pradesh…We will match the numbers stated by the leaders of INDIA Alliance,” Singh said.

The results in Himachal Pradesh and BJP are in favour of BJP…”
