Jammu & Kashmir looking at a Congress–NC win, while BJP leads in Haryana

As early trends emerge, Jammu and Kashmir appears to be leaning towards a Congress-National Conference alliance victory, while Haryana is shaping up to be a tightly contested battleground. The BJP, aiming for a third term, is locked in a tough fight with the Congress, according to trends. In Jammu and Kashmir, where elections were held after a decade, National Conference-Congress alliance is poised to form the government, as Independents and smaller parties, often considered BJP allies, fail to gain significant ground. This was also the first assembly poll after the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019. NC-Congress alliance was leading on 48 seats. In Haryana, it's a tense, back-and-forth race, with leads shifting between Congress and BJP. At present, the BJP holds 46 seats, with the Congress close behind at 40.
