SRINAGAR, OCTOBER 24: An independent candidate has demanded an investigation into alleged cross-voting during the recently concluded Rajya Sabha elections in Jammu and Kashmir, following the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) unexpected victory in one of the seats.
The candidate claimed that irregularities in voting patterns may have influenced the outcome and called for transparency in the electoral process. “There appears to have been cross-voting that altered the expected results. A thorough probe is essential to maintain faith in democratic procedures,” the candidate said.
The BJP’s win has sparked political debate across the region, with several parties questioning how the saffron party managed to secure a seat despite limited numerical strength in the Assembly.
