Kashmiri Elections Questioned As Results Roll In

The video discusses the first local elections in Kashmir since its autonomy was revoked in August. Despite a high voter turnout, the legitimacy of the elections is questioned due to the detention of many local politicians and the boycott by major political parties. The revocation of autonomy by India, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, aimed to reduce terrorism in the region but resulted in protests and the deployment of Indian troops. Independent candidates won the majority of seats, with BJP securing about 26%.
