Himachal Assembly Election 2022
Chamba-Vidhan-Sabha Election 2022
The bugle has been sounded for the Himachal Vidhan Sabha elections. Polling for the 68 assembly seats in Himachal is to be held on November 12 and the counting of votes will be done on December 8. In such a situation, all the parties have given their full strength in the election. This time BJP has changed its candidate from Chamba seat of Himachal. However, in 2017 BJP won here. While BJP has fielded Indira Kapoor from this seat, Congress has bet on Neeraj Nayyar. This time too a tough fight is being considered between BJP and Congress party.
In the year 2017, Pawan Nayar was the candidate from BJP. He defeated Neeraj Nayyar of Congress by 1879 votes. Chamba is one of the important assembly seat of Himachal. Which comes in Chamba district itself and falls in the parliamentary constituency Kangra. BJP MP from here is Kishan Kapoor. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Kishan Kapoor defeated Pawan Kajal of Congress by more than 4,77,7 thousand votes. In such a situation, the BJP has a heavy edge at the present time. Because both the sitting MLA and MP here are from BJP.
