In Jammu and Kashmir, an opposition coalition led by the Congress and the regional party National Conference (NC) is now in the lead.
Following the June general election, which saw the BJP regain power with a smaller majority, these were India’s first state elections.
Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will benefit greatly from a possible victory in Haryana since it would enable the party to build a government for a third consecutive term.
Additionally, a BJP victory would defy exit polls that projected a landslide victory for the Congress.
A hung legislature in Jammu & Kashmir was also predicted by the exit polls, but if current trends continue, the Congress-NC alliance will have the ability to create government.
A party or alliance that reaches the halfway mark can form the government. Each state has ninety assembly seats.
Votes counted thus far indicate that the BJP leads in 29 seats in Jammu and Kashmir, while the Congress-NC combination leads in about 49 seats. The BJP’s performance in the Jammu region, where Hindus predominate, is contributing to its popularity.
As additional votes are counted, these figures might alter.
Jammu and Kashmir held its first assembly election in 2019 following the federal government’s revocation of the region’s autonomy and replacement of it with it.
