As the counting of votes continues, Vij remains confident of his victory . “These are early trends, and I am sure I will secure a win once all the votes are counted,” he said earlier. He has also assured that the BJP will return to power with a clear majority in the state.

Ambala Cantt has become a battleground, with Chitra Sarwara’s unexpected rise turning the race into a tightly contested fight. All eyes remain on the final results as the fate of this key constituency is determined.
