Tue Oct 08 11:21:25 UTC 2024: ## BJP Wins Haryana, NC Forms Government in J&K: Election Results Out

**Haryana:** The BJP has secured a landslide victory in the Haryana Assembly elections, winning a majority of seats and retaining power for a third consecutive term. Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, who is leading in the Ladwa constituency, has stated that the people of Haryana have given the BJP another mandate to serve them.

The Congress party suffered a major setback, failing to make significant gains and securing only a handful of seats. Former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda expressed disappointment over the party’s performance, attributing it to internal divisions. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) failed to secure any seats in Haryana.

**Jammu and Kashmir:** The National Conference (NC) has emerged as the largest party in Jammu and Kashmir, winning a significant number of seats. The NC is set to form the next government in alliance with the Congress. Former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah, who was elected from the Sonawar constituency, has called for the restoration of Article 370, a move that could trigger political tensions.

The BJP, which had contested the elections in alliance with the Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party (JKAP), won a limited number of seats.

**Other Key Highlights:**

* **Shrimati Mata Vaishno Devi Seat:** The newly created Shri Mata Vaishno Devi seat saw a close contest between the BJP and Congress.
* **Nuh:** The Congress party secured all three seats in the Nuh district.
* **AAP:** The AAP, despite failing to win in Haryana, managed to secure one seat in Jammu and Kashmir, defeating the BJP candidate by a significant margin.

**The election results have significant implications for national politics, particularly ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.**
