Speaking to the media, Vikramaditya on Thursday said late Virbhadra Singh’s legacy was a big factor in the Congress winning in Himachal this time.

Himachal Pradesh Congress chief Pratibha Virbhadra Singh also said that one cannot neglect the former CM's legacy as the party fought the polls in his name.

She said: "The MLAs will choose their leader. They will make the best decision which will be conveyed to the party high command."

"I am not saying that I am in the race for the chief minister. But we have won this poll in the name of the late Virbhadra Singh. You can't neglect him and his family," she said.

The Congress bagged 40 seats in the Assembly election, while the BJP got 25.

The Independents won three seats while the AAP failed to open its account.
