The former CM had already turn into lively in Hamirpur after a gathering with state BJP in-charge Avinash Rai Khanna two month in the past.
After these bypolls, the 2022 Vidhan Sabha elections are subsequent and sources mentioned that state BJP feels the necessity of a mass chief like Dhumal. Dhumal had misplaced his seat within the 2017 elections and he was sidelined after that for 3 and half years. After successful 2014 Lok Sabha elections, BJP constantly gained all elections within the state and Dhumal was the principle face within the marketing campaign until 2017 Vidhan Sabha ballot. But after shedding his seat from Sujanpur Vidhan Sabha constituency the rival group did every little thing to maintain him away from mainstream politics and Dhumal restricted himself solely to Sameerpur.
But the defeat in two municipal companies out of 4 this month has come as a giant jolt to CM Thakur and state BJP president Suresh Kashyap.

BJP gained Mandi municipal company by itself and managed to elect the celebration mayor with the assistance of an Independent councillor in Dharamshala MC. unbiased councilor help.
Dhumal had not campaigned for BJP candidates in municipal areas. Asked if Dhumal had refused to marketing campaign, state BJP president Suresh Kashyap mentioned: “Aisa nahin hai….sab lage the. Hum peechhe rah gaye.”
