1984 Indian general election in Jammu and Kashmir

The 1984 Indian general election in Jammu and Kashmir was a significant political event held as part of the nationwide elections to the Lok Sabha, the lower house of India's Parliament. Scheduled on 24 November 1984, the elections were conducted under complex political circumstances following the tumultuous events of 1983, which included controversies surrounding state politics and governance. The state was characterized by a deeply polarized political landscape with the Indian National Congress (INC) consolidating its position amid rising tensions and allegations of electoral malpractices. This election resulted in a decisive win for the INC, which secured all six parliamentary seats allocated to the state, signaling a period of political dominance in Jammu and Kashmir and influencing subsequent state and national political dynamics.
