  • In Himachal, it's a two-way fight between the ruling Congress (Virbhadra Singh) and the BJP (PK Dhumal).

    Both Dhumal and Singh are mass leaders. By choosing them, Congress and BJP have played safe as both belong to the dominant Thakur caste.

    With BJP's war cry being "Mission 50+" and Congress's "Repeat Mission 2012," this will be the final Dhumal versus Singh showdown.
