JAMMU, Dec 22: Riding high on the wave of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah for abrogation of special status of Jammu and Kashmir leading to total integration of erstwhile State with India and very effective campaigning by several Union Ministers and national leaders, the BJP tonight won clear majority in six District Development Councils (DDCs) out of total 10 in Jammu and emerged as a major power in the region bagging 72 out of 140 DDC seats while the Congress was relegated to third spot with just 17 seats even behind 24 of National Conference and 20 by the Independents. Newly floated Jammu Kashmir Apni Party (JKAP) which was contesting its first election captured three seats while Jammu and Kashmir Nationalist Panthers Party (JKNPP) suffered humiliating defeat by getting just two seats. The PDP and BSP could barely manage to open their account winning one seat each. Dogra Swabhiman Front of former Minister and two-tim
