In a surprising turn of events, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) suffered a humiliating defeat in the recent elections in occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Despite the use of government machinery, the BJP saw its influence crumble as the Kashmiri populace rejected its arrogance at the polls.
The opposition coalition led by the Congress party emerged victorious, securing enough seats to form the government.
Notably, the National Conference, headed by Farooq Abdullah, won 42 seats, while the BJP managed to secure only 29 seats out of the 90 contested in the region.
The Modi government's controversial decision to revoke the special status of Jammu and Kashmir was met with widespread disdain among the locals.
Reports indicate that the government deployed state machinery to sway the electoral outcome, even executing transfers within the police department.
However, the Kashmiri people firmly rejected the revocation of their special status, resulting in the BJP's stunning defeat. Many voters boycotted the elections, labeling them a farce.
This electoral setback highlights the growing resistance among Kashmiris against the BJP's policies and the resilience of opposition parties in the region.
