BJP doesn't loose in Jammu they loose in Kashmir 😮😮, legend know why are they loose!

[S-K]

How can someone expects victory for BJP where 69 % voters are Muslims ! Inspite of bringing much development and infrastructure to J&K

[mysleeves]

U haven’t addressed Islam the reason . This is the lefty media

[jaymabharti]

You forgot to mention the main issue. Kashmir special population. No matter what fantastic work they did, they would still lose big.

[vishwaranjan]

Why not a single hindu candidate of Congress won in Jammu Kashmir???
Why Jammu rejected Congress you have guts Quintuddin to ask that.

[ankushkoul]

BJP winning 29 seats in J&K means more than 90% Hindus voted for BJP. This in itself is a big win.

[MrCMVikram]

Modi has to show some guts and populate Kashmir with Hindus and Sikhs.

[ambiento]

We the people of jk didn't expect more than 30 seats for bjp. It was already clear that bjp won't make govt here due to Muslim dominated kashmir. But from jammu, it's really a clean sweep for bjp with 0 congress seats.

[jibeshranjandeb]

It's the fault of the BJP because they considered the inhabitants of Kashmir as human. At least now they could realise that this community is not human, they're Muslims. It's must be a great lesson for them.

[mattcaprio]

BJP had made inroads idiot! In a Muslim dominated place they have done a huge impact. Yes ppl are not grateful you can’t help BJP can’t do anything about it, at least they have made a dent unlike the congress.

[Om-tytl]

Abrogation of article 370 may not good for Kashmir but it very important whole India s security

[VenkataRamanujam-vyos]

There is nothing surprising.Muslim voted for muslims.Debate itself is silly.

[kailashpatra]

Why you are not talk about congress in jk and harayana
You are not less than same as godi media

[venkataramanbalakrishnan]

If all sanathanam Hindus are united, we can defeat anti Indian parties Congress, DMK, ADMK, VCK Left, TMC, APP etc. Most of the Hindus are not voting on polling date. If all united & without fail Vote for BJP. Looters, rowdies Ganja sellers, land grabbers. We can save our future generation

[rakeshnow]

BJP was the only hope for saving Kashmir.

[mystics]

Bjp already knows the results, nothing new in it .

[gsk]

Highest vote share - 25 percentage. Jkn got 23 percentage. Which is not a loss btw. Rest, you know the religious identity of the voting population.

[srinivasannammalzwar]

Because these people are pro Pak
Ungrateful. Voters

[heman]

It is the biggest fool to think the BJP will do well in Muslim-dominant areas. No matter what, the majority of Muslims will vote against the BJP.

[asadsagheer]

The president of BJP in Jammu division, who dreamt of becoming CM of J&K…. Then how himself been defeated by Congress contestant gained 2X votes in his own Constituency 🥊


Rest talks aside !!
