Himachal Pradesh Election Result LIVE: BJP Poised To Claim Big Win, Leads In 46/68 Seats

SHIMLA:  The counting of votes for the Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat assembly election takes place today. The BJP and Congress are locked in a battle for power in the state. The incumbent chief minister Virbhadra Singh is the Congress' face in the state, while the BJP nominated former chief minister Prem Kumar Dhumal as their candidate. The election is essentially seen as a battle between the two veterans, who have taken turns to be the chief minister in Himachal since 1993. The election, which took place on November 9, saw a record voter turnout of 74 per cent. An NDTV poll of eight exit polls indicates that the BJP is set for a big win in the state, however Congress remains confident of victory. Counting is also under way in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state Gujarat.  LIVE coverage of the Gujarat Assembly election result can be seen here.
