As early counting of votes continues across the country in the current Lok Sabha elections, the BJP may be all set to sweep all the seats in the two hill states of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh in a similar fashion as 2014.
The party leads in Uttarakhand’s five seats, as well as Himachal Pradesh’s four seats. Former chief of BJP’s Uttarkhand unit Tirath Singh Rawat is leading from the Garhwal constituency, while former BJP chief minister of the state Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ has taken the lead in the Hardwar seat.
BJP candidate Anurag Kumar Thakur is leading from the Hamirpur constituency in Himachal Pradesh.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
