Constituency profile:
Hamirpur Lok Sabha constituency is Himachal Pradesh is keenly being watched by political pundits as three-time winner BJP's young turk Anurag Thakur is contesting for his fourth stint in Lok Sabha.
Anurag Thakur is much more cautious this time after his father Prem Kumar Dhumal lost from Sujanpur assembly segment which is part of Hamirpur Lok Sabha constituency in 2017 assembly. That cost him the post of Chief Minister. In Himachal Pradesh's politics, Union Minister JP Nadda and the Dhumals are on the opposite side of the prism.
Some reports indicated that it was infighting that cost BJP dearly in Hamirpur in the last assembly election. Thus Anurag Thakur has tried desperately to cover his bases in this election. According to Thakur, he has done enough for the development of his constituency to win comfortably.
Thakur is up against Congress' Ram Lal Thakur who is an MLA. In the last election, Thakur won again Congress candidate Rajender Singh Rana by 99 thousand votes. Historically, Hamirpur has been a strong saffron seat and the party has won continuously since 1989 barring once in 1996.
Prem Kumar Dhumal has won the seat thrice, Anurag Thakur thrice and Suresh Chandel thrice, all representing BJP. Overall the saffron party has won the seat nine times and Congress on five occasions. On May 19th, Hamirpur citizens will decide the fate of Anurag Thakur, one of BJP's most prominent young faces in the Parliament.
