Kashmir: New Parliamentarians
In the first Rajya Sabha election held after 2019, the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference retained three seats while the BJP secured one, triggering allegations of horse-trading after the BJP candidate won with four ‘unexpected’ votes from the ‘secular’ bloc.
“BJP never keeps any election normal and we have said it time and again,”
JKNC’s spokesman, Imran Nabi Dar, told reporters after he lost the seat by four votes. The BJP did not have the numbers to win this seat; they only have 28 seats, so how could they win? BJP has used all their resources and won this seat.
