Early Times Report

Jammu, Mar 1: Amid reports that the Congress is ready to surrender the Ladakh Parliamentary seat for the National Conference to ensure unity among the constituents of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc, the Leh unit of the party is not ready to accept any formula. Highly placed sources said that leaders of the Leh unit of the party have made it clear to the party's high command that leaving the Ladakh Lok Sabha seat for the National Conference would prove disastrous for the party in this region. “Leh unit of the Congress will not accept any such formula because there is fear among local party leaders that surrendering the Ladakh seat would help the BJP to make inroads into the party’s vote bank in the Buddhist-dominated pockets where the Saffron Party is the main competitor with the Grand-Old-Party ”, a source said.
Leh Congress leaders are opposing this formula keeping in the next elections of the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) Leh.

Leaving Ladakh seat for NC would prove disastrous for Congress.
Surrendering Ladakh seat would help the BJP to make inroads into the party’s vote bank
Leh Cong leaders are opposing this formula keeping in view the next LAHDC elections .
dition, some central leaders of the Congress are trying to convince the National Conference to leave the Anantnag-Rajouri Lok Sabha seat for the PDP to avoid a friendly contest among constituents of the INDIA bloc in Jammu and Kashmir.
“In case the National Conference will leave the Anantnag-Rajouri Parliamentary seat for the PDP, the Congress will surrender its claim on the Ladakh seat”, a source said, adding, “Congress is going to sacrifice its interest to ensure unity among the opposition parties”.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections the BJP candidate Jamyang Tsering Namgyal, who was then sitting Chairman-cum-CEC of LAHDC Leh recorded an impressive victory margin of 10,930 votes over NC, PDP, and Islamiya School Kargil joint candidate, Sajjad Kargili.
