Jammu Kashmir elections first in 10 years
For Jammu and Kashmir, it was the first Assembly elections in 10 years. This was also the first Assembly election in the UT after the abrogation of special status under Article 370 in August 2019.
In the 2014 assembly elections, the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and the BJP formed a rare coalition government with the late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed as the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir. However, the government did not last long, as the BJP withdrew from the alliance in 2018. Jammu and Kashmir has been under central rule since then. The Union Territory may now be on course to have its first elected government since 2018
The National Conference (NC) and the Congress contested J&K assembly elections 2024 as part of an alliance. The BJP, the PDP, some regional parties and independents are main players.
What Exit Polls predicted?
The Congress party is predicted to wrest power from the BJP in Haryana, exit polls revealed on Saturday. The pollsters have, however, predicted a hung house in Jammu and Kashmir where first assembly elections were held in a decade. These elections were also first assembly polls in the erstwhile state after abrogation of Article 370 in 2019. J&K was also bifurcated into two Union Territories – Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh post the abrogation.
The Congress party is expected to win anywhere between 49-55 seats of the 90 seats in Haryana where the majority mark is 46, according to exit polls released after single-phase polling in the state with about 67 per cent turnout on Saturday.
In Jammu and Kashmir, Pradeep Gupta's Axis My India predicted 35-45 seats to the NC-Congress-CPIM alliance and 24-34 seats to the BJP. The PDP is predicted to win 4-6 seats while others are predicted to win 8-27 seats.
While the idea behind the exit polls is to reflect public sentiment well before the actual results are announced, their accuracy has faced scrutiny many times in the past.
Today's results will set the tone for the next round of assembly polls in Maharashtra, Jharkhand, and Delhi. The performance of the parties, particularly the BJP and Congress, may also have an impact on the upcoming elections.
