BJP Names Tashi Gyalson As Ladakh Candidate, Drops Sitting MP

Tashi Gyalson is the chairman-cum-chief executive councillor of Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council in Leh.

The BJP on Tuesday named Tashi Gyalson as its candidate from the Ladakh Lok Sabha seat, dropping sitting MP Jamyang Tsering Namgyal, who reacted defiantly and asserted that he will soon announce his next course of action.

Tashi Gyalson is the chairman-cum-chief executive councillor of Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council in Leh.

Hours after the announcement, Mr Namgyal said his supporters across the Union Territory are voicing disapproval over the decision.
