In Leh, it is in a close fight with the Congress. The Congress is expected to win Kargil. In Zanskar, the Congress is in a close fight with an Independent candidate.

BJP LEADS IN JAMMU

As expected the BJP is likely to do well in Jammu region with 37 assembly seats. It is expected to win 14-20 seats in the region.

ADVANTAGE PDP

If the PDP wins 36-41 seats, it can take the support any political party except the ruling NC to reach the halfway mark of 44 seats. It can even go with the Panthers Party and Independents. Or it can even clinch a deal with its former ally the Congress.

It can even go with the BJP. If the BJP does not go with the PDP or the PDP declines the BJP’s offer, for the first time the BJP can become the main opposition party in the Jammu & Kashmir Assembly.
