The correct answer is: A. J & K NC
The National Conference (NC) emerged as the single largest party in the Panchayat election of 2020 in Jammu and Kashmir, winning 107 seats in the 4,456-member local body polls. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) came second with 77 seats, followed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) with 75 seats. The Congress won 26 seats, while the Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party (JKAP) won 22 seats.
The NC’s victory was seen as a major boost for the party ahead of the Assembly elections, which are due to be held in the state later this year. The party’s president, Farooq Abdullah, said that the NC’s victory was a “mandate for peace and development” in Jammu and Kashmir.
The PDP’s loss was seen as a setback for the party, which had been in power in the state until 2018. The party’s president, Mehbooba Mufti, said that the PDP would accept the people’s verdict and work to strengthen the party.
The BJP’s performance in the Panchayat elections was seen as a morale booster for the party, which had been facing a tough challenge from the NC and the PDP in the state. The party’s state president, Ravinder Raina, said that the BJP would continue to work for the development of Jammu and Kashmir.
The Congress’s performance in the Panchayat elections was seen as a disappointment for the party, which had been hoping to make a comeback in the state. The party’s state president, Ghulam Ahmad Mir, said that the Congress would introspect and work to strengthen the party.
The JKAP’s performance in the Panchayat elections was seen as a good start for the party, which was formed in 2020. The party’s president, Altaf Bukhari, said that the JKAP would continue to work for the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
