J&K polls: National Conference sweeps Capital Sringar

The National Conference (NC) has swept Srinagar by winning seven of the eight seats in the Jammu and Kashmir capital city while the remaining one seat was won by its alliance partner and J&K Congress chief Tariq Karra. In the 2014 assembly elections, the People’s Democratic Party had swept five of the eight seats in Srinagar when there was a wave in favour of the party across the valley. In 2008 assembly polls, all the seats of Srinagar had voted for NC candidates.
