Blaming the Congress for BJP’s win from Ladakh parliamentary seat, the National Conference (NC) ended its alliance with the party in the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) Kargil. The rivalry between two friendly political parties brought Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and NC closer and the PDP has joined the Council in Kargil.
On Thursday, the National Conference kicked out Congress from the Executive council of LAHDC Kargil. The decision to break partnership with Congress was taken after the win of BJP candidate Jamyang Tsering Namgyal from Ladakh and the deafeat of independent candidate journalist-turned-politician Sajjad Hussain. An independent candidate, Hussain was backed by both National Conference and the PDP.
