Kashmir DDC byelections results show BJP emerging as a player in once no-go area

The Hindu  

The recent results of the District Development Council byelections have reflected a fast blooming lotus in otherwise a no-go area for the Bharatiya Janata Party in north Kashmir. Though J&K’s oldest political party National Conference-backed candidate won the Drugmulla seat by securing 3,259 votes, the BJP stood fourth and bagged 877 votes, higher than the Congress’ 746 and Peoples Democratic Party -backed candidate Rifat Jan’s 612 votes. Once a bastion of the NC and Sajad Lone’s People Conference, the Drugmulla seat also saw the rise of the J&K Apni party, a party floated after August 5, 2019, which secured 1,474 votes. Mudasir Wani, BJP leader and north Kashmir in-charge, and Kupwara district Prabhari Mohammad Anwar Khan have thanked people of Drugmulla, Kupwara, “for casting their votes in favour of the BJP”. The BJP stood fourth with the J&K Apni Party securing 2606 votes and grabbing the seat from the powerful players, the NC and the PC.
