BJP's Mission 44+ fails, PDP emerges largest party

December 23, 2014 13:55

The PDP, which has emerged as the single largest party in Jammu and Kashmir is ahead in 33 seats including two seats already in its bag, appeared to be in the pole position to form the government in the 87 member Assembly.

The party headed by Mufti Mohammed Sayeed can choose to form the government either with the support of Congress which is leading in 11 seats and has won one seat or the BJP. The Congress and PDP had formed a government together in 2002.

The BJP, which is leading in 25 seats, is far short of its target of 44.

PDP 32, BJP 25, NC 14, Cong 11, Others 6
