Virbhadra, who had been a five-time Chief Minister, remarked, "I have done my duty which was assigned to me, that was to fight the election and bring the party back to power. That I hope I will be able to perform successfully.

 

"As to who will lead the state...At present I am leading state as PCC President. And who will be the Chief Minister, that will be decided by Soniaji," he ahd said.
