The BJP is focussing on the developmental projects, undertaken by the Centre after the abrogation of Article 370 and the readjustment of Ladakh as a separate Union Territory from J&K in 2019, as its main plank to win votes in the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council-Kargil (LAHDC-K) polls will take place on October 4.
A BJP election team, comprising senior leaders from J&K, on Monday gave the final push to its campaign in Ladakh. Ashok Koul, general secretary of the BJP for J&K and Ladakh, reviewed the election management team’s ongoing preparations. The BJP is pitted against the National Conference (NC) and the Congress combine in the first ever election in Kargil since the Centre carved out Ladakh as a separate Union Territory (UT) on August 5, 2019.
The BJP is focusing on the development work undertaken by the Centre in the Ladakh region since 2019 as its major poll plank. “With the unprecedented development of the whole region under the strong leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP is set to score a big win in the upcoming LAHDC-K polls,” Mr. Koul said.
