Shimla: After being defeated by Congress in the 2022 Legislative Assembly election, Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur said that the party will review the reason that lead to its defeat.

He also congratulated Congress for winning the elections.
On the question of the possibility of horse-trading, Thakur said that horse trading is not right and Congress should take care of its winning candidates.
