BJP fails to impress Valley, Cong lacks force in Jammu

BJP fails to impress Valley, Cong lacks force in Jammu

Almost conversely, the Congress won only six Assembly seats in J&K, including one from the Jammu region. The big question for Congress remains whether it missed the opportunity by not campaigning aggressively enough in the elections in the Jammu region, where it was in a direct fight with the BJP.
