Present Political Scenario:
We might see a photo finish here
Shimla will again see sitting BJP MP, Virender Kashyap, trying to defend his seat and his likely opponent from Congress could be Mohan lal Bragta (Sitting MLA of Rohru).
This is a very tough seat which can go any which way and the ruling Congress party has some advantage as this is Virbhadra territory.
Both BJP and Congress may go ahead in 7 assembly segments each, while 3 may end up till last call.
