He is respected for his honest and clean image and always stood for clean politics. Gupta learnt the art and practice of discipline while serving the public in RSS and his devotion and dedication to national cause and public life is well known. Gupta’s elevation as the LG of Ladakh is seen as his reward for party discipline, devotion of his life for public good and his unwavering commitment to national integrity and nationalism.

Therefore, the authority and position of Gupta as the LG of the UT of Ladakh is envious. It is hoped that as the LG of Ladakh ,Gupta will prove his mettle and govern the UT and work for the growth and transformation of Ladakh during his tenure.
