He won the seat from Beerwah in the Kashmir Valley though. Riding on the Narendra Modi wave, Bharatiya Janata Party candidates were declared elected from 11 constituencies and were on the winning track in 15 - all in Jammu region save one in Buddhist-dominated Ladakh.In contrast, the PDP led by former chief minister Mufti Mohammed Saeed, who won from Anantnag, had bagged 16 seats and was set for victory in 15 -- overwhelmingly in the Kashmir Valley.Home Minister Rajnath Singh asserted in New Delhi that the BJP -- until now considered a bit player in the country's only Muslim-majority state -- was poised to take power in both Jammu and Kashmir and Jharkhand.Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office Jitendra Singh, a Lok Sabha member from Udhampur in Kashmir, said: "This will be a turning point for BJP and for Jammu and Kashmir politics."An alliance between the PDP and BJP would give them the numbers needed to form a government in the 87-member assembly but it wasn't immediately clear if they were working towards a post-election partnership. Jharkhand, which has had 9 CMs since its formation, looks set for a stable BJP-led government in the state. Jharkhand has given us a full majority," said a beaming BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain.Initial trends showed that the BJP was coasting to victory but could end up just shy of the magic halfway mark of 41 in the 81-member assembly. It could get up to 40 seats."Forming government in Jharkhand is imminent...," said Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar outside parliament in Delhi.A BJP leader confidently told IANS in Ranchi that they will "comfortably form the government in Jharkhand".The ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) seemed set to improve its performance, bagging around 20 seats. It was an improvement from 18 seats that it won last time, but woefully short of the halfway mark.The JVM was headed for victory on eight seats while the Congress was set to get four seats.Hemant Soren, the CM of Jharkhand of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha leads from Barhait and trails from Dumka.
