While all eyes are on Gujarat, where the BJP has been in power for two decades, there is another state that went to the poll: Himachal Pradesh, which has seen the BJP and Congress alternately in power since 1985. Results will be out Monday, December 18 but the India Today-Axis exit poll gives the BJP a clear victory in the Congress-ruled Himachal Pradesh, which has 68 Assembly seats. The rout in Himachal Pradesh is bad news for Rahul Gandhi, who took over as Congress chief shortly after the hill state voted on November 9.
