Ghulam Mohammed Sadiq was appointed Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir. Background In 1965, the working committee of the Jammu & Kashmir National Conference announced that it would dissolve itself and merge with the Indian National Congress. A rival faction led by Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad refused to go along and contested the elections under the National Conference banner.Bose, Kashmir: Roots of Conflict, Paths to Peace 2003 82–83 Prior to that, in 1963, the Jammu Praja Parishad also merged into the national party Bharatiya Jana Sangh.Kedar Nath Kumar Political Parties in India, Their Ideology and Organisation https://books.google.com/books?id=x3pJ8t4rxIsC&pg=PA108 1990 Mittal Publications 978-81-7099-205-9 108– These mergers are seen by analysts as a major "centralizing strategy" and a victory for the Hindu nationalist agenda of the Praja Parishad and its allies.Bose, Kashmir: Roots of Conflict, Paths to Peace 2003 82 There were reports that Bakshi was planning to forge an electoral alliance with the Jana Sangh, despite their differences on the Article 370, but the alliance did not materialize. The Jana Sangh, whose main base was in the Jammu Division, planned to contest in the Kashmir Valley taking advantage of the rivalry between the Congress and the National Conference.Das Gupta, Jammu and Kashmir 2012 380 The election Of the 75 seats, 42 seats were allocated to the Kashmir Valley, 31 to Jammu, and 2 to Ladakh.Das Gupta, Jammu and Kashmir 2012 380 The National Conference contested 73 seats overall. The Jana Sangh contested all 31 seats of Jammu and several seats in the Valley. The Plebiscite Front officially boycotted the election, but several members contested as independent candidates, including the General Secretary Ali Mohammad Naik, who contested from Tral, and Ghulam Mohammed Bhat, contesting from Habbakadal in Srinagar. The Awami Action Committee also boycotted the election. Other parties that contested included the rump group of the National Conference under the leadership of Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad, the rump group of the Democratic National Conference under the leadership of Ram Piara Saraf, and the national parties Communist Party of India, Praja Socialist Party and the Hindu Mahasabha.Das Gupta, Jammu and Kashmir 2012 380 The nomination papers of 118 candidates were rejected on technical grounds, 55 of them because the candidates had failed to take the obligatory oath of allegiance to the Constitution. As a result, 22 seats in the Valley were unopposed, resulting in a win for the Congress candidates.Bose, Kashmir: Roots of Conflict, Paths to Peace 2003 85 Simultaneously, elections were also held for the Lok Sabha (the Lower House of the Indian Parliament) in the 6 Lok Sabha constituencies of the State.Das Gupta, Jammu and Kashmir 2012 380 Results The Indian National Congress won 61 seats in the state assembly, emerging as the winning party. Bakshi's National Conference won 8 seats and the Jana Sangh 3 seats. Three other seats were won by independent candidates, one of them by Ali Mohammed Naik of the Plebiscite Front.Bose, Kashmir: Roots of Conflict, Paths to Peace 2003 86 In the elections for the Lok Sabha, 5 of the 6 seats were won by the Congress, of which 2 were unopposed. The remaining seat was won by Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad of the National Conference, contesting from Srinagar. Scholar Sumantra Bose remarks that Bakshi might never have won a free election "at any point during his ten years in office", but he did so now holding the banner of Kashmiri regionalist resistance to New Delhi.Bose, Kashmir: Roots of Conflict, Paths to Peace 2003 86 File:India Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly 1967.svg Indian National Congress 423922 61 New Jammu & Kashmir National Conference 137179 8 62 Bharatiya Jana Sangh 131542 3 New Others 38552 0 0 Independents 68377 3 1 0 124727 1419253 ECIhttps://old.eci.gov.in/files/file/3789-jammu-kashmir-1967/ Jammu & Kashmir 1967 Election Commission of India 22 June 2022 Results by constituency Winner, runner-up, voter turnout, and victory margin in every constituencyElection Commission of India Statistical Report on General Election, 1967 to the Legislative Assembly of Jammu and Kashmir http://eci.nic.in/eci_main/StatisticalReports/SE_1967/Statistical%20Report_Jk_1967.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20101006052138/http://eci.nic.in/eci_main/StatisticalReports/SE_1967/Statistical%20Report_Jk_1967.pdf 6 October 2010 15 February 2024Assembly ConstituencyTurnout WinnerRunner UpMargin #k Names% Candidate Party Votes% Candidate Party Votes%1Karnah-Mohammed Yunis KhanIndian National Congress Elected Unopposed2Kupwara-Mohammad Sultan TantrayIndian National Congress Elected Unopposed3Lolab-Ghulam Nabi WaniIndian National Congress Elected Unopposed4Bandipora69.99%M.
