The results of the assembly elections held in Jammu and Kashmir after a decade are going to come tomorrow. Regarding the results yesterday, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Ravindra Raina claimed that our party will emerge as the largest party in the state by winning at least 35 seats. After that we will form the government with our like-minded MLAs. Raina said that BJP is going to perform exceptionally well in this election. The huge turnout at the rallies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah clearly shows the huge public support for our party and is an indication that people have voted for the BJP.
Taking aim at the alliance of Congress and NC, the BJP leader said that his alliance will face a crushing defeat and BJP will emerge as the largest party in the assembly. People have voted for us supporting our vision of development and peace.

On the issue of nomination of five MLAs, Raina said that as per the Reorganization Act, five MLAs are being nominated by the Lieutenant Governor. The Reorganization Act has already been passed by the Parliament. This process will proceed accordingly… It will be proceeded by the Lieutenant Governor under the constitutional process.
