Notwithstanding the lowest lead secured by the BJP in the Shimla Lok Sabha seat from Sirmaur district, it is the first time when BJP candidate Suresh Kashyap  has been elected as an MP from here.

 The results  of Sirmaur district have come as a surprise for the BJP as its leaders  were expecting an overwhelming  lead from here as a local candidate had been fielded for the first time.  The BJP has three MLAs from the district in Nahan, Paonta Sahib and Pacchad  while the Congress’ two MLAs  from Shillai and  Renukaji could not manage to secure a lead for the party. 

With Kashyap’s winning margin being  a mere 16,021 votes from his home turf of  Pacchad, factionalism within the party has been exposed.
