Assembly Election Results 2024 Live Analysis: The counting day came to an end with the BJP securing a clear majority in Haryana, making a comeback for a historic third term. In Jammu and Kashmir, the National Conference won big in the first assembly polls in 10 years, with the shrunken Congress riding on its shoulders. While the BJP defied all the exit poll predictions in Haryana, the Mehbooba Mufti-led PDP, which formed the last state government in J&K with the BJP in 2019, saw its seats getting reduced from 28 to 4.
In Haryana: Even as the exit polls had projected a clear majority for Congress, the BJP’s win marks a first for Haryana, which had not seen any party form the government for three consecutive times. The victory hence will just be the boost the party needed after finishing short of a majority in the Lok Sabha polls – and ahead of the coming Assembly elections. Meanwhile, the narrative of a Congress revival that the grand old party had assiduously built after the Lok Sabha elections will be punctured.
In Kashmir: In Jammu and Kashmir, the biggest challenge for the new NC-Congress government is likely to be over representation to the Hindu-dominated mainland Jammu, where the allinace won no seat. The eight seats the two parties won in the Jammu province all fall in its hilly areas, including the Congress one and the NC seven.
