The National Conference (NC) on Thursday established an unassailable lead in all three Lok Sabha seats in the Kashmir Valley while former Chief Minister and PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti lost in her erstwhile bastion Anantnag. Emerging as the victor in his typical grand style, the 83-year-old four-time former Chief Minister and NC President Abdullah was miles ahead with 51,000 votes over his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Aga Syed Mohsin.
NC's Muhammad Akbar Lone had established a firm lead of over 20,000 votes against his Peoples Conference (PC) rival Raja Aijaz Ali. The surprise winner in the Valley was Justice (Retired) Hasnain Masoodi, who initially trailed behind both Mehbooba Mufti and Ghulam Ahmad Mir, the state president of the Congress.
BJP's Jitendra Singh, a Union Minister of State, defeated Congress candidate Vikramaditya Singh from Udhampur by over 3.48 lakh votes.
Thank you for joining us for the updates on Jammu and Kashmir Lok Sabha election 2019 results. Here are all the updates from Lok Sabha election results from the state:
* Lok Sabha election results 2019: National Conference (NC) vice-president Omar Abdullah said the country has rejected an alternative to the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "second term" is not a "fluke".
"We fought the election and tried to have an alternative to the BJP and the NDA and put it before the country. The country did not accept it. The reality is that the places from where we were expecting the opposition to win, the number of seats from there has come down rather than going up," Abdullah told reporters here.
"But, today is the day of Modi's success. I think it would be wrong if we do not send a message of congratulations to him. 'Jo jeeta wohi sikandar' (he who wins, is the king)," he said.
* Lok Sabha election results 2019: Mehbooba Mufti conceded defeat in Anantnag saying the people's anger against her was 'completely justified'.

* Lok Sabha election results 2019: NC leader Omar Abdullah says, "Who can say what would've happened if Balakot had not happened. But it is the truth that post-Balakot opposition lost most of its steam. There are many issues we can discuss on. If 'Chowkidar chor hai' was a right slogan, if it was right to focus on Rafale."
"If we presented rural distress,unemployment,economic slowdown properly. If we should've questioned Pulwama instead of Balakot. They say 'Once horse has bolted what's the point of closing stable door?'.If horse comes in hand after 5 yrs, fine, else it'll go ahead."
