Newsclick Interviewed Shankar Raghuraman, associate editor Times of India on the recently concluded assembly polls of Jharkhand and J& K. Shankar feels that there has been polarization in case of Hindus which has gone in favor of the BJP which gained all its seats from the Jammu region. As far as Kashmir is concerned it performed miserably as most of its candidate lost their deposits. The mainstream media portraying that BJP performed well in Kashmir region is a sham. On the question of forming alliances, Shankar feels that ideologically the PDP and the BJP are two opposite poles, but in period of opportunism, their coming together will not be a surprise. He also points out fall in the vote share of BJP in Jharkhand as compared to the Lok Sabha polls and thinks that failure of other parties to build alliances is an important reason for the victory of the BJP.
