Cong changes tact, seeks to adopt 'soft Hindutva' to check BJP in Jammu

In the recently held polls, Congress won six Assembly seats in the 90-member House.

The party won five seats in the Valley and one from Muslim belt of the Jammu region. Not a single candidate from the Congress won from the Hindu belt of Jammu, though the party's vote share had increased by 5-10 per cent in the region in the Lok Sabha polls.
