Kangra- Largest division of HP, with 25 seats, last time BJP swept here with 18 seats. This division contains districts of Chamba, Kangra,Una.
Kangra district is the most crucial of all with 15 seats, basically who leads here, wins Himachal.

Last time BJP won 10/15 seats in Kangra dt, this time it would be a more closer race with BJP just about edging Congress here. Overall prediction for Kangra division this time
BJP-15, Congress-10
