PDP largest party in J&K, BJP to form govt in Jharkhand
- 5 years ago
With 28 seats, the PDP was in a pole position to form the government but the party appeared to be keeping all options open like the BJP which has won 25 seats, all in the Jammu region, recording its best performance in the state.
The BJP's success in Jharkhand comes on top of its victory in Maharashtra and Haryana in the recent assembly elections after the stupendous victory in Lok Sabha polls.
However, the BJP, for whom Prime Minister Narendra Modi carried out a high voltage campaign of 'Mission 44+' in the 87 member Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, failed to make any breakthrough in the Valley and Ladakh where it drew a blank in 50 seats.
In the Valley, the party suffered the ignominy of all but one of its 34 candidates losing their deposit. However, the party had more than doubled its seats from 11 in 2008 to 25 now while the PDP went up from 21 to 28.
The ruling National Conference suffered a defeat when it secured only 15 seats against 28 it had won in the last elections. Chief Minister and National Conference President Omar Abdullah lost from Sonawar seat but managed to cling on to Beerwah with a slender margin of 1,000 votes.
