Indian media: BJP's Kashmir performance - Published Papers say the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has put up an impressive show in Indian-administered Kashmir elections, even though no clear winner has emerged. The BJP won 25 seats to emerge as the second largest party after the results of the five-phased polls were announced on Tuesday. The regional People's Democratic Party (PDP) emerged as the largest party with 28 seats. Observers say a coalition government is now likely because no party won the 44 seats needed to form a government in the 87-member state assembly. "The fiercely fought election in Jammu and Kashmir has thrown up a fragmented verdict that is not going to easily yield a government in one of the most difficult places to govern in India," The Hindu says. Most papers, however, feel that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP made a strong show even though their much touted "Mission 44" failed. Mr Modi had urged voters to take the party across the 44-seat mark to form a government. "BJP's Mission 44 may have failed in Kashmir but it has made a significant impact on the state's politics," The Times of India says. The Hindustan Times agrees, saying that "it was not quite Mission 44+ in the end, but nothing can take away from the BJP's impressive showing in Indian-administered Kashmir". "By picking up so many seats, it has firmly signalled that it will be a major player in the state," the paper adds. Both papers give credit to Mr Modi and BJP president Amit Shah for the results. "Credit has to go to the energetic campaigning by the BJP for its great showing in Jammu, led by its star campaigners like Mr Modi and Mr Shah," the Hindustan Times says. "The ambition and audacity" of the duo have "steered the BJP to its present position as India's premier national party", adds The Times of India. 'Polarised region' The Hindu, however, feels that the results highlight "a polarisation on religious lines" among voters. The results suggest that "Hindus of the Jammu region voted overwhelmingly for the BJP and Muslims of the Kashmir Valley split their approval among the PDP, the National Conference and the Congress," the paper says. The BJP, however, has a "historic opportunity to play a wider role in India's only Muslim-majority and most politically sensitive state", The Indian Express says. The Hindustan Times, meanwhile, welcomes the fact that "voters came out in droves to exercise their franchise" despite the separatists' calls for a boycott. Papers are also praising BJP's performance in the eastern state of Jharkhand where it has emerged as the largest party. The BJP and a regional ally combined won 42 seats in the election results announced on Tuesday. The Times of India says the BJP's victory signals "Jharkhand's desire for political stability and a clear mandate for economic development". Meanwhile, in the capital, Delhi, two men threw acid on a woman in a busy area on Tuesday, reports say. The men were on a motorbike when they attacked the victim, who is a medical professional. Police have launched a probe into the incident, the NDTV website reports. There have been over 200 reported cases of such attacks on women between 2010 and 2012, according to the National Crime Records Bureau.

झारखण्ड चुनाव: नरेन्द्र मोदीद्वारा हार स्वीकार, भाजपाले किन जोगाउन सकेन सत्ता भारतको सत्ताधारी भारतीय जनता पार्टी (भाजपा) ले पूर्वी राज्य झारखण्डमा भएको विधान सभा चुनावमा आफ्नो पराजय स्वीकार गरेको छ। प्रधानमन्त्री नरेन्द्र मोदीले झारखण्ड मुक्ति मोर्चा र उनको गठबन्धनलाई बधाई दिँदै शुभकामना दिएका छन्। उनले ट्वीट गर्दै आफ्नो दललाई 'सेवा गर्न दिएकोमा झारखण्डका जनतालाई धन्यवाद' दिए। भाजपा अध्यक्ष तथा केन्द्रीय गृहमन्त्री अमित शाहले पनि जनादेशको सम्मान गर्ने बताएका छन्। उनले ट्वीट गर्दै भनेका छन्, "भाजपालाई पाँच वर्षसम्म प्रदेशको सेवा गर्ने जो अवसर दिइएको थियो, त्यसको निम्ति हामी जनताप्रति आभार व्यक्त गर्छौँ।" निर्वाचन आयोगका अनुसार मुख्य विपक्षी भारतीय कांग्रेस पार्टी र झारखण्ड मुक्ति मोर्चा सहितको गठबन्धनले ८१ सीटमध्ये बहुमतमा अग्रता लिइरहेको छ। परिणाम घोषणा भएको सात सीटमा तीनवटा जित्दै भाजपा २५ सीटमा अगाडि छ। सरकारले ल्याएको नागरिकता सम्बन्धी नयाँ कानुनविरुद्ध देशव्यापी रूपमा जारी विरोधकाबीच मतदान भएकाले चुनावी परिणामलाई महत्त्वपूर्ण मानिएको छ। मुख्यमन्त्री पछाडि भाजपाका मुख्यमन्त्री रघुबर दास मतगणनामा पार्टीकै विद्रोही उम्मेदवार सरयू रायभन्दा साढे चार हजार मतले पछि परेको बताइएको छ। आलोचकहरूले मुस्लिम विरोधी ठान्ने गरेको कानुनले निम्त्याएको विरोध प्रदर्शनका क्रममा १० दिनसम्म भएका झडपहरूमा कम्तीमा २० जनाको मृत्यु भएको छ। प्रधानमन्त्री नरेन्द्र मोदी नेतृत्वको भाजपाले यो वर्षको सुरुमा भएको संसदीय चुनावमा अपार बहुमतले विजयी भएको थियो। तर विधान सभा चुनावमा उसको निकै कमजोर प्रदर्शन देखिएको छ। यसअघि भाजपाले अक्टोबर महिनामा हरियाणामा भएको विधान सभा चुनावमा बहुमत गुमाएको थियो। त्यस्तै महाराष्ट्रमा क्षेत्रीय सहयोगी शिव सेनासँगको सम्बन्ध टुटेपछि सरकार बनाउन विफल भएको थियो। झारखण्डमा स्थानीय मुद्दामा चुनावी भिडन्त भए पनि भाजपाको नीतिहरूका कारण उसलाई धक्का लागेको ठानिएको छ। हारको कारण बीबीसी हिन्दीका निम्ति राँचीस्थित रवि प्रकाशले भाजपाका हारका पाँच कारण औंल्याएका छन्। उनका अनुसार मुख्यमन्त्री रघुबर दासको छवि पनि भाजपा हारको एक कारण भएको त्यहाँका मानिसहरू ठान्छन्। पार्टीभित्रको असन्तुष्टिलाई उनले उपेक्षा गरेको तर उनैलाई प्रधानमन्त्री मोदी र पार्टी अध्यक्षले साथ दिएको बताइन्छ। त्यस्तै त्यहाँका आदिवासीको भूमि अधिकार रक्षाको निम्ति गर्न लागिएको भनिएको कानुन संशोधनको विफल प्रयासले पनि भाजपाप्रतिको धारणा बिग्रिएको ठानिएको छ। भूमि अधिग्रहण सम्बन्धी कानुन संशोधनको प्रयास पनि हारको अर्को कारण मानिएको छ। त्यस्तै भिडद्वारा हत्या र भोकमरी अनि बेरोजगारीबारे राज्य सरकारको नीतिलाई लिएर पनि ठूलो असन्तुष्टि रहेको बताइन्छ। त्यसैले प्रधानमन्त्री मोदीले नौ, अमित शाहले ११ र मुख्यमन्त्री दासले ५१ वटा चुनावी सभालाई सम्बोधन गरे पनि भाजपा सत्ता जोगाउन नसक्ने अवस्थामा पुगेको ठानिएको छ।
