Assembly election equations
However, it will be interesting to see in the assembly elections whether JKNC is going to lose from Uri assembly seat or the party will win contrary to the Lok Sabha election results. Talking about the 2014 assembly elections, JKNC candidate Mohammad Shafi had won from Uri seat.
The equations have changed
This time the political equations of Jammu and Kashmir have changed. Earlier, direct fight between JKNC and Congress party was seen on many seats. But this time there is an alliance between Congress and JKNC. This is INDIA alliance, which was also there in Lok Sabha elections 2024.
