New Delhi: The opinion poll conducted by ABP News in association with CVoters predicted a close battle in Jammu and Kashmir, with three Lok Sabha seats for the UPA bloc out of 5, zero for the PDA, which is a part of I.N.D.I.A bloc, and two for the BJP-led NDA.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, both the NDA and the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference secured three seats respectively.
On the other hand, the predicted vote share for Jammu and Kashmir is 41.4 per cent for the BJP-led NDA, 7 per cent for PDP, 44.4 per cent for the UPA bloc, and 7.1 per cent for others.
The upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Jammu and Kashmir will be the first one since the Centre abrogated the special status provided under Article 370 in August 2019.
Earlier this month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made his first official visit to Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370.
As he addressed a rally in Srinagar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the "new Jammu and Kashmir... for which we all had been waiting for many decades." Unveiling economic projects worth many thousands of crores, the Prime Minister further stated that J&K is now "breathing freely" and flourishing at a rapid rate following his government's contentious repeal of Article 370.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the Congress was not able to bag any seats.
The NDA's poll percentage was 46.24 percent, the JKNC's was 7.87 percent, the Congress's was 28.39 percent, and the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party's 3.38 percent.
In 2019, Jammu and Kashmir had six Lok Sabha constituencies: Baramulla, Jammu, Srinagar, Udhampur, Ladakh and Anantnag.
