The People's Alliance for Gupkar Declaration, in which the National Conference and the PDP are partners along with five other parties, is set to lead development councils in nine out of 10 districts in Kashmir division. The alliance has a clear majority in six districts while in three others it is set to lead with help of Congress and independents. The BJP, on the other hand, is guaranteed to lead the councils in just 5 of the 10 districts in Jammu division. In Reasi, it can lead with the help of independents, but in the remaining four districts, the Gupkar alliance is ahead of the BJP.
