Taking a dig at the Congress at the meeting, senior BJP leader and outgoing Himachal Chief Minister Jairam Thakur said, "Every Congress leader fought the Assembly elections as a probable CM candidate and their defeat is inevitable."
Congress leader Rajeev Shukla, who was a part of the delegation, said that the opinion polls try to predict the results of the elections in a biased way.
The chief poll officer of Himachal further said, "While the number of voters increased by 5.37 lakh, the number of votes polled increased by 4.33 lakh in this year's Assembly elections."
Congress sources said internal surveys indicate that the party is likely to get a majority in Himachal polls leading to increasing the number of contenders for the chief minister's post.
Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Himachal Pradesh Maneesh Garg on Saturday reviewed the layout plan for proper movement of the Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) and its passage from strong rooms to counting centers which would be moved for counting on December 8.
Claiming a strong anti-incumbency against the BJP in the state, Vikramaditya Singh claimed that the outgoing government led by Chief Minister Jairam Thakur did not work 'on the ground'.
In a release on Monday, the state police said a total of 232 Flying Squads and an equal number of Static Surveillance Teams were deployed across the state to cut out threats of any untoward incidents, after the notification of the polling date.
