Tue Oct 08 08:40:52 UTC 2024: ## Congress-National Conference Alliance Triumphs in Jammu & Kashmir, BJP Secures Hat-trick Victory in Haryana
**Srinagar/Chandigarh, [Date]:** The 2024 Assembly election results for Jammu & Kashmir and Haryana are out, revealing a decisive victory for the Congress-National Conference alliance in Jammu & Kashmir and a hat-trick win for the BJP in Haryana.
In Jammu & Kashmir, the alliance, led by Omar Abdullah, secured a resounding victory, ending the BJP’s reign after a decade. The results, announced early this morning, saw the alliance cross the majority mark with a comfortable lead.
In Haryana, however, the BJP defied exit polls, which had predicted a Congress win, and secured a third consecutive term in power. The party successfully capitalized on its incumbent advantage, securing a decisive victory despite a tough campaign.
The election results are seen as a significant boost for the Congress in the lead-up to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. While the BJP’s performance in Haryana is a positive indicator for the party, the loss in Jammu & Kashmir could potentially impact its national strategy.
The counting of votes began this morning at 8 am in both states, with the first indications of the results emerging by 8:30 am. By 10 am, the picture in both states had become relatively clear.
The elections in Jammu & Kashmir were particularly significant, marking the first time elections were held in the region after the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019. The region witnessed a high voter turnout, with 63.45% participation.
In Haryana, the voter turnout was even higher, reaching 67.90%. The BJP’s victory in the state is largely attributed to its strong organization, development initiatives, and successful implementation of welfare schemes.
The results are being closely watched by political analysts and party strategists, as they offer insights into the electoral landscape ahead of the crucial national elections.
