The BJP are indeed in a buoyant mood.
The people of Himachal have great hope from their leaders.
A comfortable majority this time that does not have the crutches of a Sukh Ram backed Himachal Vikas Congress, like it had last time, should embolden the new government to take innovative steps to promote, information technology, biotechnology, cash crops, improve rain harvesting structures and provide people with gainful employment opportunities.
Should that happen, there is no reason incumbency cannot be overcome, five years down the line.
