BJP crosses halfway mark in Uttarakhand, Cong leads on 17 seats

Shattering the Congress’s confidence to regain power, the BJP traversed the half mark in Uttarakhand. In the 70-member constituency, Congress is leading only on 17 seats, while the BJP is leading on 47 seats.

Since its formation in 2000, the state managed not to hand over power to the incumbent, and which is the key factor upon which the Congress has its confidence on.

But the BJP’s early leading in the state is showing the anti-incumbency factor did no effect in these elections.
