Exit Polls Hint NC-Cong Alliance has an Edge in J&K but May Fall Short of a Majority

Published on: October 07, 2024 - Exit polls suggest the NC-Congress alliance may have an edge in Jammu and Kashmir but could fall short of a clear majority, leaving room for allies and kingmakers. Farooq Abdullah stirred speculation about potential support, prompting Omar Abdullah to clarify that no support has been extended or offered, urging a halt to premature speculation. Engineer Rashid argued that even if the INDIA bloc secures a majority, they shouldn't form a government until statehood is restored, blaming NC and Congress for its loss. Omar responded, accusing Rashid of playing into the BJP's hands, which is also confident of forming the government. Meanwhile, Iltija Mufti has accused the LG of nominating five pro-BJP MLAs, calling it pre-result rigging. On Point decodes
