BJP Triumphs While NC-Congress Coalition Shakes Jammu And Kashmir Results from the 2024 assembly elections reveal stark contrasts between Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir, redefining party fortunes and voter expectationsThe recent assembly elections held on October 8, 2024, produced unexpected results, shaking the political landscapes of Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir. While the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) celebrated its victory and secured a historic third term in Haryana, the National Conference (NC)-Congress alliance emerged as the dominant force in Jammu and Kashmir, creating significant ripples throughout the Indian political narrative. Interestingly, Haryana's elections mirrored those taking place simultaneously in Jammu and Kashmir, though with contrasting outcomes. Conversely, Jammu and Kashmir exhibited a unique political environment where the long-standing issues of autonomy and governance came to the forefront. Political analyst Amitabh Tiwari outlined, "The BJP’s traditional stranglehold on Jammu is weakening, intensifying their reliance on the Hindu-majority Jammu region for support."
