The party’s candidate Ranjit Singh polled four votes as against the minimum of 11, the party’s strength in the legislative assembly, which helped the ruling National Conference-Congress alliance to win all the five seats that it had contested Wednesday.

BJP’s leaders at the national level, according to party sources, have taken a very serious note of it. A team of leaders from Delhi will visit Jammu to probe the matter.

The ruling National Conference (NC)-Congress alliance in Jammu and Kashmir won five out of six seats in the legislative council elections. The sixth seat was won by the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
