BJP won the Rohroo Assembly seat and the Congress bagged Jawali in Himachal Pradesh as results of the two by-polls were declared on Tuesday.
While the Rohroo seat was held by the Congress, the Jawali was represented by the BJP.

By-elections on Rohroo in Shimla district and Jawali in Kangra district were necessitated due to resignation of Union Minister Virbhadra Singh and BJP’s Rajan Sushant respectively after they became MPs.
