Jammu & Kashmir Exit Poll 2024 Live: Slight edge for Congress-NC, predict exit polls
Jammu & Kashmir Exit Poll 2024: The Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections, the first crucial polls since the abrogation of Article 370, were conducted in three phases. The voting process concluded on October 1, with the final phase covering 40 constituencies. The counting of votes is set to take place on October 8.
Several exit polls on Saturday predicted a slight edge to the National Conference-Congress alliance.
The National Conference-Congress alliance is projected to secure a majority in the 90-member assembly of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, according to the C-Voter-India Today survey. The survey predicts 40-48 seats for the alliance, while the BJP is expected to win 27-32 seats.
According to Dainik Bhaskar, the alliance is likely to win 35-40 seats, and the BJP may secure 20-25 seats in Jammu and Kashmir.
Peoples' Pulse projects the NC-Congress alliance to win 46-50 seats, with the BJP securing 23-27 seats. However, Republic-Gulistan estimates a lower tally for the NC-Congress alliance at 31-36 seats, while the BJP is predicted to win 28-30 seats.
Various polls suggest that the PDP may win between 5 and 12 seats, and other parties could secure 4-16 seats in the assembly.
The results of the assembly elections will be announced on October 8.

Poll of exit polls: Congress to sweep Haryana; alliance with NC has edge in J&K
According to exit polls conducted on Saturday, the Congress party is poised to make a triumphant return in Haryana after being out of power for a decade. The surveys indicate that the party is likely to secure a decisive mandate in the state.
Meanwhile, in Jammu and Kashmir, where assembly elections were last held 10 years ago, the Congress-National Conference alliance appears to be in a formidable position. The exit polls suggest that this alliance may have the numbers to form the next government in the state.
The results of these exit polls, if accurate, would mark a significant shift in the political landscape of both Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir. The Congress party, which has been in the opposition in Haryana for the past 10 years, is hoping to capitalize on these predictions and regain its foothold in the state.

BJP will be in better condition in Kashmir, talks going on with like-minded parties: Former Dy CM Kavinder Gupta
According to Kavinder Gupta, a former deputy chief minister of J&K and BJP leader, the National Conference-Congress alliance's projected lead in Jammu and Kashmir, as indicated by exit polls, is not a true reflection of the actual situation. Gupta expressed confidence that the BJP will emerge as the largest party once the final results are declared. He stated, "It is only in the Exit polls that Congress-NC has got these seats, but BJP will emerge as the biggest party once the correct results are out."
Gupta further added that the BJP is expecting to secure more than 35 seats in the Jammu province and the remaining seats from Kashmir. He emphasized that the BJP will be in a better position in Kashmir and revealed that discussions are underway with like-minded parties to form alliances.
Tarun Chugh, the Bharatiya Janata Party General Secretary and J&K in charge, echoed Gupta's sentiments, stating that the actual results will be more favorable for the BJP than what the exit polls suggest.

J&K Exit Poll Live: What opinion poll predicted in 2014
In the 2014 assembly election, exit polls forecasted an inconclusive result, with no party expected to secure the required 44 seats for a majority in the 87-member Assembly. However, the actual outcome differed from the predictions, with the PDP emerging as the leading party.
According to the CVoter exit poll, PDP was on top with 32-38 seats, followed by BJP at 27-33, NC at 8-14, and Congress at 4-10. The poll suggested that the state was headed for a hung assembly, with no party likely to form a government on its own.
When the final results were declared, the PDP secured 28 seats, falling short of the majority mark. The BJP came in second with 25 seats, while the NC and Congress won 15 and 12 seats, respectively. The discrepancy between the exit poll predictions and the actual results highlighted the challenges in accurately forecasting electoral outcomes in the state.

At 63.8%, J&K polls turnout fails to surpass 2014 Lok Sabha count
The voter turnout in the recently concluded Jammu and Kashmir Assembly election, which was conducted in three phases, reached 63.8%. This figure surpasses the 58.6% turnout recorded in the Union Territory during the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. However, it falls short of the approximately 65.4% polling recorded in the 2014 assembly polls, which excluded the four assembly seats that were then part of Ladakh, now a separate Union Territory.
In the third and final phase of the election, the turnout based on EVM votes was nearly 69.7%. This represents only a slight increase compared to the figure released by the Election Commission at 11.45 pm on Tuesday. Sources attribute this to a deliberate effort by the EC to ensure that district election officers update the voting turnout figures in its app by the end of the polling day.

J&K elections no means to resolve Kashmir issue, says Hurriyat chairman
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, the chairman of the Hurriyat Conference, stated on Friday that conducting assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir would not resolve the Kashmir issue. Instead, he advocated for peaceful means of outreach and dialogue to address the matter. The religious and separatist leader, who was permitted to offer Friday congregational prayers at the Jamia Masjid in the Nowhatta area of the city after more than a month, alleged that he was placed under house arrest and his movements were restricted.
During his sermon, he emphasised that elections and the "resolution of the Kashmir issue" were two distinct matters. He said, "Civic elections in a Union Territory that Jammu and Kashmir was downgraded to in 2019 is limiting in giving any real power to its residents. In Jammu and Kashmir, it was rendered almost meaningless after further amendments were made to the Reorganisation Act, giving further sweeping executive powers to the lieutenant governor."
Despite the limitations, the Mirwaiz acknowledged that given the disempowerment and dispossession experienced by the people of Jammu and Kashmir since August 2019, they hold some hope that the elections may provide them with a measure of relief and a say in their daily affairs.

Jammu Kashmir Assembly Election: Centre plotting to disempower new J&K govt, says Omar
National Conference (NC) vice-president Omar Abdullah on Friday accused the Centre of bringing changes in govt’s business rules ahead of the assembly election results on Oct 8 to clip the incoming dispensation’s wings.
He claimed BJP had asked the chief secretary to change the “transaction of business rules” and assign them to the lieutenant-governor (LG), having sensed defeat in the elections. The former CM urged J&K bureaucrats to resist pressure to “further disempower” the incoming govt.
“BJP has clearly accepted defeat in J&K. Why else would the chief secretary be assigned the duty to change transaction of business rules to curtail the powers of the chief minister/elected govt and assign the same to the LG?” Omar posted on X. He claimed he got this “information from within the secretariat”.

J&K polls: Farooq Abdullah rules out post-poll alliance with BJP
National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah said that his party would not forge a post-poll alliance with the BJP for government formation in Jammu and Kashmir. "We cannot go with the BJP. The vote which we have got here is the vote against the BJP. The difficulties they put the Muslims in, bulldozed their shops, houses, mosques and schools, do you think we will go with them?" Abdullah told PTI videos here.
He said the BJP did not give mandate to even a single Muslim in the Parliamentary election nor is there a single Muslim minister in the Union Cabinet.
"I think our people will not vote for the BJP. If they (BJP) think they will form the government, then they live in cuckoo's world," the National Conference (NC) chief added.
The NC had on Friday said it was not in touch with any political party other than INDIA bloc constituents for government formation in Jammu and Kashmir.

Jammu Kashmir Assembly Election 2024 Exit Poll Live Updates: Congress opposes 'move' to nominate 5 MLAs before govt formation in J&K
The Congress on Friday strongly opposed the nomination of five MLAs before the government formation in Jammu and Kashmir, labelling any such move as an assault on democracy and the fundamental principles of the Constitution. For the first time in J&K, five nominated Members of Legislative Assembly (MLAs) will have a significant role in forming the new government following a decade-long hiatus. The lieutenant governor (LG) will nominate these members based on the advice of the Home Ministry, according to reports.
This process follows an amendment to the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, which was further revised on July 26, 2023 to introduce these nominations.
In that case, the J&K assembly will expand to 95 members, increasing the majority threshold to 48 seats to form a government.

J&K Exit Poll Results 2024 Live: Will 5 J&K MLAs be nominated before result? Opposition cries foul
Opposition parties have objected to Centre’s reported move to ensure that five nominated MLAs are appointed before a govt is formed in Jammu & Kashmir. With their inclusion, the J&K assembly will expand to 95 members, increasing the majority threshold to 48 seats. Since the Union govt will recommend the LG to pick the MLAs, critics say they will toe the Centre’s line.
“This is a fraud on democracy and mandate of the people who cast their votes to elect 90 MLAs,” said Ravinder Sharma, senior vice-president, J&K Congress Committee on Friday. The Lt Governor has to act on the advice of the council of ministers, and it would be a misuse of the provision of nomination if used to convert majority into minority and vice-versa, in case such a situation arises after counting, he said.
Meanwhile, NC’s Omar Abdullah accused the Centre of bringing changes in govt’s business rules ahead of Oct 8 poll results to clip the incoming dispensation’s wings.

Jammu Kashmir Exit Poll 2024 Live: Are exit polls accurate?
Exit polls offer a glimpse into the minds of voters, but their precision is not always guaranteed. The accuracy of these polls hinges on various elements, such as the techniques used for sampling, the truthfulness of respondents, and the inherent margins of error.
However, there have been significant instances where the final outcomes diverged considerably from the predictions, as exemplified by India's 2024 Lok Sabha election. Consequently, it is essential to approach exit polls with a degree of scepticism and not regard them as conclusive verdicts.

After a decade-long gap, Jammu & Kashmir is preparing for its first assembly elections since 2014. The previous PDP-BJP coalition government collapsed in June 2018 when the BJP withdrew its support from then-chief minister Mehbooba Mufti. Following a Supreme Court directive in December 2023, the central government was tasked with completing the election process by September 30, 2024. These elections mark the first since the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019, with a restructured 90-member assembly now up for contest.
