After the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced Tashi Gyalson as its candidate for the Ladakh Lok Sabha seat, the sitting MP Jamyang Tsering Namgyal asserted that he would soon announce his next course of action. Gyalson is the chief executive councillor of Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council in Leh. Namgyal, known for his vocal support of the Narendra Modi governments decision to revoke Article 370 and grant Union Territory status to Ladakh, responded to the partys decision strongly. The BJPs decision to drop Namgyal comes amid resentment towards the ruling party among a section of Buddhists in Leh. Local sources suggest that Gyalson, who is also a practising lawyer, may be better positioned to maintain the BJPs influence over the Ladakh constituency, which encompasses not only Leh but also the Muslim-majority region of Kargil.

He noted that he had conveyed his disagreement through official channels and highlighted the widespread disapproval voiced by his supporters across Ladakh. "The BJP announced a new candidate for the Ladakh parliamentary constituency, replacing the sitting MP without providing transparent and compelling justification," Namgyal said in a post on the social media platform Facebook. "I have communicated my disagreement to the party leadership through proper channels regarding this injustice to a dedicated karyakarta. Hundreds of BJP activists and my supporters from across Ladakh have also voiced their disapproval of this decision," he added. (With Agencies Inputs)
