BJP Leads in Haryana, Congress-NC Dominates in J&K
Vote counting is underway in Haryana and Jammu & Kashmir (J&K), setting the stage for crucial outcomes. In Haryana, the BJP aims for a third straight term. Current trends show BJP leading in 48 of 90 seats, while Congress is ahead in 35. Exit polls had predicted a clear Congress majority, but the final result remains uncertain.
In J&K, where the assembly election occurred after 10 years, the Congress-National Conference (NC) alliance has crossed the halfway mark of 46 seats. They are currently leading in 48. The BJP is ahead in 28, while the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leads in 4.
This election marks J&K’s first since its reorganization as a Union Territory and the removal of Article 370. With a hung house predicted, key regional players like People’s Conference, Democratic Progressive Azad Party, and Apni Party could shape the final outcome. Both regions await their new political landscape as the vote count continues.
