Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Election Result 2024: Shagun Parihar, pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy in Electronics, is one among the winning BJP candidates
The National Conference-Congress combine on Tuesday won the Jammu and Kashmir polls, winning 49 of the union territory's 90 seats, beating the exit polls' predictions.
However, an interesting sub-plot is the BJP's poll numbers this time - it finished with 29 seats, four more than it its count in 2014, when the elections were last held in the former state. The Congress, on the other hand, won a paltry six seats.
Shagun Parihar, pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy in Electronics, is one among the winning BJP candidates. The 29-year-old is also among the three women who have won elections in Jammu and Kashmir.
