Votes of the single-phase elections in Haryana are being counted today. The campaign has seen the Bharatiya Janata Party struggle in the face of anti-incumbency and the Congress making inroads. Once dominant as local forces, the Indian National Lok Dal and the Jannayak Janta Party have struggled to maintain a foothold.

Over in Jammu and Kashmir, which has seen its first assembly polls in a decade, the opposition alliance of Congress and National Conference look geared to emerge the single largest coalition. However, whether they are able to cross the majority mark might depend on their ties with the People’s Democratic Party.
