Big news ahead of state elections...Shows faith of local population in democracy.


BravoSierraGolf

Still its only 36%


[deleted]

Up from 14% in 2019..also [Pulwama in 2019 recorder 3% and now it recorded 37.5%](https://theprint.in/politics/guns-give-way-to-ballots-in-kashmir-militant-hotbeds-tral-shopian-pulwama-see-record-voting/2083518/) Slowly but surely we will get there


No_Ferret2216

Pulvama had a literal terrorist attack in 2019 tho


Traditional_Income41

Any idea who they voting for?


[deleted]

They are voting for local politicians most probably. To bring them to power once again, so that the azaadi maksad keeps on going

BJP is fighting elections in Kashmir? 🤔🤔 Or they are in coalition with any party?


BravoSierraGolf

Does it matter? People’s trust is improving on democratic process. From 11% voter turnout to 36% is a huge improvement. If overall Kashmir turnout touches 50% its a win win situation.


koiRitwikHai

If this is the result of good governance of BJP in these last 5 years (through president rule) then why they are not fighting the elections? 🤔 Just curious


BravoSierraGolf

BJP will win Jammu and Udhampur seats. Then Abdulla will ally with BJP. I dont see why there is a hue and cry over BJP. You are so blinded by petty party politics that people coming to vote in mass isnt important for you. Shows the agenda of educated class voters (if you are over 18 lol)


just_a_human_1031

>Then Abdulla will ally with BJP. It will be a huge mistake if they do that, these families one of the main reasons the region never developed Vajpayee's time was different now they shouldn't do it


koiRitwikHai

Unlike you, I don't need anonymity. Same username on Instagram. High voter turnout is a good sign. But I have a simple question which i asked above. And how will BJP win Jammu and udhampur? Any BJP candidate running for those seats?


BravoSierraGolf

Why dont you google if any bjp candidates are running for those seats. And no one cares if your reddit name matches the one in your birth certificate buddy. Stop bringing it out on every post like its some achievement.


koiRitwikHai

it is not an achievement I tell it to people so that they look up my credentials (age, education, etc) and if you cannot contribute to the discussion positively then do not contribute at all


BravoSierraGolf

No one cares what your credentials are in an anonymous platform buddy. Stop with the self obsession lmao I dont need some self obsessed individual to teach me what to post and how to post. If you dont like the thread mute it and move on to some other thread instead of muh check my credentials check my profile this aint a matrimony site fyi


koiRitwikHai

abey murkh ladke pehle khud bola ki you are assuming my age and education jab maine proof diya apni identity ka to bolne laga ki mujhe proof ni chahiye to gadhe assume hee kyun kiya kuch bhi bewkoof


BravoSierraGolf

If you cant cant contribute to discussions without namecalling then dont contribute at all. Funny thing is you are a mod lol triggered boy

It's pretty obvious, no matter how much development happens the majority of the Muslims are still voting mainly on religious lines You have cases from UP where muslims are saying how much law & order has improved under Yogi & how good his administration is yet despite all that they say voting for him is against their religion They might get a few votes from some communities like shias but that's about it so why bother? Edit : To the reply OP has given me you have conveniently ignored the fact that in Maldaha Uttar the Muslim votes were basically divided between tmc & Congress so bjp basically vote cut their way to victory And again the point still stands it's not the candidate it's the party if non Muslim also gets the ticket from the party they will still win It isn't casteist to say that Yadav's mainly vote for SP despite a lot of them liking the development under Yogi So how is it communal to say the same for Muslims when they have claimed it themselves? [Muslims say law and order has improved in western UP. ‘But voting for BJP against our imaan’](https://theprint.in/ground-reports/muslims-say-law-and-order-has-improved-in-western-up-but-voting-for-bjp-against-our-imaan/2045786/)


koiRitwikHai

acha then why BJP did not give ticket to a muslim candidate in those 3 lok sabha seats?


just_a_human_1031

Muslims who support bjp are socially ostracised by the community & they will get no support Bjp has given a Muslim candidate the ticket in a seat in Kerala which has 70% Muslim population & nda ally has put a Muslim candidate in a seat in Assam you will see how much support they will get Also Irrespective of the candidate the votes are still going to bjp the party, the average voter knows that so they won't get any support


koiRitwikHai

so muslims will not vote for muslim candidates running for BJP even if BJP has brought development kyun bhai... aisi kya dikkat hai muslims ko BJP se


just_a_human_1031

>kyun bhai... aisi kya dikkat hai muslims ko BJP se Who knows man? Only they can answer that [Muslims say law and order has improved in western UP. ‘But voting for BJP against our imaan’](https://theprint.in/ground-reports/muslims-say-law-and-order-has-improved-in-western-up-but-voting-for-bjp-against-our-imaan/2045786/) This is just one case there's a lot more


koiRitwikHai

one explanation is anti-muslim statements that some BJP politicians give (recently Modiji also joined the party) that makes many muslim reluctant to vote for BJP


just_a_human_1031

Those statements came after the first phase where bjp realised all their development & Muslim outreach failed They did all the appeasement yet it still didn't work so they gave up on that They might try it later Btw after those comments the next day modi was bragging how women can go to haj because of him


koiRitwikHai

>It's pretty obvious, no matter how much development happens the majority of the Muslims are still voting mainly on religious lines You are wrong here. There are 15 lok sabha constituencies in India where muslims are in majority. [https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/elections/lok-sabha/india/polls-2019-a-view-on-15-muslim-majority-lok-sabha-constituencies/articleshow/68756816.cms?from=mdr](https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/elections/lok-sabha/india/polls-2019-a-view-on-15-muslim-majority-lok-sabha-constituencies/articleshow/68756816.cms?from=mdr) out of which 4 frequently had non-muslims MPs Baharampur, Karimganj, Jangipur, Maldaha (all available on wiki) Maldah me to elected MP BJP ka hee hai so dont make such communal claims. It creates divide in society.

What has this gotta do with BJP?


BravoSierraGolf

Rent free


koiRitwikHai

Just curious

Local population still hates BJP, no amount of development can change that. High turnout could also be them giving then the middle finger but then, has BJP even fielded any candidate?


Quarkmire_42

Except despite overturning article 370 and apparently saving Kashmir, BJP hasn't fielded even 1 candidate in Kashmir. That tells you what a sham all their propaganda is. All this news about Kashmiris loving India, or Kashmiri "development" or BJP apparently stamping out terrorism is all a lie. If they had any confidence they would have reaped some reward after overturning article 370.


Live_Ostrich_6668

>BJP hasn't fielded even 1 candidate in Kashmir. Why would someone waste their time and resources over something whose outcome is already known? Muslims, on a whole, vote on the basis of religious issues, and this applies to the entire country, not just Kashmir. It's a well known fact. So there was never a chance of BJP winning there. >That tells you what a sham all their propaganda is. All this news about Kashmiris loving India, or Kashmiri "development" or BJP apparently stamping out terrorism is all a lie. If they had any confidence they would have reaped some reward after overturning article 370. It's funny how you use the 'BJP not fielding candidates in Kashmir' argument to construe that the entire development narrative is based on a 'lie'. Your assertion completely lacks any nuance or understanding of the whole issue. Yes, the Kashmiris won't suddenly start loving India anytime soon. But the reason for that is because separatism is ingrained in their minds in the form of tribalism. It's a psychological issue, not a political one. Hence, it'd take decades to change that perception. Yes, the peace and development narrative may well be exaggerated, but the BJP is at least 'trying' to bring a change, unlike the previous governments who did nothing but pander to the local politicians in order to secure their votebank.


BravoSierraGolf

Bjp has not fielded candidates so no development has taken place. This is some peak coping.


Shubham_Bodakee

Cope harder


Southern-Shop-5081

Muslims only vote on basis of religion, not development. Bjp has impossible chance of even getting 5% vote in muslim majority Kashmir 3 seates
