Will BJP be able to form government in Jammu and Kashmir?
The challenge for BJP will be whether it will be able to emerge as the largest party and form the government. If BJP wins maximum seats then it may need the support of other parties. But according to exit poll data, the Congress-NC alliance will prove to be an obstacle in the way of BJP forming the government.
What were the issues this time?
The issue of restoring statehood to Jammu and Kashmir has been important in this assembly election. BJP has promised that statehood will be restored, while Congress and NC have also assured restoration of statehood. An interesting twist in this election came when the banned Jamaat-e-Islami supported some candidates and formed a strategic alliance with Engineer Rashid’s Awami Ittehad Party.
