BJP to form governments in Gujarat Himachal Pradesh celebrations at party HQs across country

The BJP on Monday retained power in Gujarat, securing a simple majority by winning 92 seats in the 182-member Assembly. It is leading in seven more, according to the Election Commission tally. The opposition Congress followed closely behind the long-ruling saffron party with 75 seats in the bitterly-fought election whose campaign saw a face-off between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress president Rahul Gandhi. The BJP has been in power in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state uninterrupted since 1998. Apart from Gujarat, the party has also secured a massive win in Himachal Pradesh Assembly Election on Monday.
