The BJP looks set to return to power in Uttarakhand, but how are its biggest leaders performing in their own seats? Will Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami manage to win his constituency? And what about Congress veteran Harish Rawat?
As of 1:10 pm, both the incumbent CM and the three-time former CM were trailing in their respective constituencies.
Yet, the incumbent Dhami will still have the overall statewide electoral victory of the BJP to cheer about, while Rawat, a three-time CM, might well be looking towards the end of his political journey with the Congress' defeat in this election.
