All options open in Jammu and Kashmir: BJP
New Delhi, Dec 23 (IBNS) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah on Tuesday said all options are open for the party in Jammu and Kashmir where it has nearly won or led in 25 seats but trailed behind the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which won or led in 30 seats in the 87-member assembly.
"All options are open in Jammu and Kashmir," said Shah at a press conference in New Delhi, adding that the "BJP will ensure that a popular government is formed in Jammu and Kashmir and democratic process is taken forward."
Shah said the Modi government's performance is still impacting the voting.
The BJP won the assembly polls in Jharkhand and is all set to form the government in the eastern state, while it is trailing behind the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Jammu and Kashmir which apparently is headed for a hung assembly as counting of votes is underway.
But the performance of BJP in Kashmir is the big story of the day with the nationalist party making a big dent in the state where it had less presence.
The BJP was leading in 25 seats, gaining about 15 seats in this election, of the total 87 seats, but the PDP emerged as the biggest winner leading in 30 seats.
The National Conference (NC) of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah was trailing behind them at 14, losing about 14 seats from the last time. The Congress was leading in 12 only, which is a loss of six seats from the last time.
J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah lost the Sonwar seat but won from Beerwah.
