10/8/2024 10:41:08 PM
Early Times Report

Srinagar, Oct 8: First time after the 1996 Assembly elections, the National Conference completely swept Kashmir Valley by winning a majority of the 47 seats.
Wave of the National Conference in the Kashmir Valley can be gauged from the fact that party leader Omar Abdullah won from both Budgam and Ganderbal seats comfortably.
While Congress won five seats of Kashmir with the support of the NC and CPIM candidate also emerged victorious with the help the NC.
The PDP, which is an arch-rival of the NC in Kashmir Valley, is confined to only three seats. One seat each was won by the Peoples Conference and Awami Ittehad Party. One Independent Shabir Ahmed Kullay won from Shopian seat.
BJP maintains its dominance in Jammu province
While the National Conference swept Kashmir Valley, the BJP maintained its dominance in Jammu province by winning 29 out of the total 43 Assembly segments of this region.
In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections BJP had won 25 seats and this time party has reached the tally of all-time high of 29 seats. BJP won all the seats of Jammu, Udhampur, and Samba distri

Despite increasing its tally from 25 to 29, the BJP suffered a severe setback as J&K unit president of the party Ravinder Raina lost the election from the Nowshera constituency at the hands of National Conference candidate Surinder Choudhary. The party also failed to secure a win on any of the Muslim majority seats of the twin border districts of Poonch and Rajouri.
Despite getting less seats BJP secured highest vote share with 24.64 percent vote share in its kitty, the BJP on Tuesday emerged as the largest party in J&K, winning three out of total 29 assembly seats in its kitty.
Despite getting less number of seats as compared to the National Conference BJP emerged as the single largest part as far as vote share is concerned.
The NC which won 42 seats, got 23.43 percent vote share, followed by 11.97 of Congress and 8.87 of the PDP.
Earlier in 2014 Assembly elections in J&K, BJP had emerged as the single largest party by securing 23 percent votes, followed by PDP with 22.7 percent, NC with 20.8 percent, and Congress with 18 percent.
