Voting is being held on Friday (October 24) for four Rajya Sabha seats in Jammu and Kashmir. National Conference (NC) is hopeful of a clean sweep with the support of 57 members including Congress, PDP, CPI and independents. At the same time, BJP with 28 members is hoping to win the fourth seat.
Let us tell you that the votes of Sheikh Khurshid of All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIP) and jailed MLA Mehraj Malik of Aam Aadmi Party will decide the fourth seat, because both National Conference and BJP have 28-28 members.
What did MLA Sheikh Khurshid say
Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Surendra Chaudhary claims that Sajjad Lone will also vote for the National Conference candidate. He has claimed that Sajjad has changed his decision of not voting. Meanwhile, Awami Ittehad Party MLA Sheikh Khurshid has said that he will vote for NC. He says that voting is a compulsion to keep BJP away. This has made BJP’s victory on seat 4 more difficult.
Alliance of National Conference and Congress
The alliance of National Conference and Congress has majority in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, hence two seats are being considered safe for the alliance. A third notification was issued for the remaining two seats. According to the mathematics of the Assembly, it is certain that one of the two members from NC will be elected, but there is competition between BJP and NC for the other one.
Let us tell you that the Election Commission had issued 3 separate notifications for the selection of these four members. This means that each MLA will vote three times to elect Rajya Sabha member. One member will be elected as per the first notification. Another member will be elected under the second notification. There are 2 seats vacant in the 90-seat assembly of Jammu and Kashmir and the process of by-election is going on here. The NC-Congress alliance, which is in power in the state, has the support of 53 MLAs in the House. Of these, there are 41 MLAs from NC, 6 from Congress and one from CPI(M).
