He also felicitated the BDC candidate who has already emerged as winner of the BDC election on the occasion.
Khanna, asked all the BJP leaders that it is their responsibility to do all the ground work meetings for the task and finish the contest in such a style that all the seats should fall in BJP’s kitty. He said that already people of Ladakh have given representations in the forms of Council, Parliament and this time also, we expect the same from the people here. He further appealed to all the party senior leaders and activists to work dedicatedly for ensuring the victory of candidates contesting BDC elections on party mandate.

He said that these parties enjoyed all the privileges for themselves and deprived the common public of enjoying even the basic opportunities provided by the Constitution. He said that now, UT will be directly under the governance of Centre, which will pave way for the unprecedented growth in the region. 75% foundation has been already laid for the development here, now remaining 25% will be laid with the conduct of BDC elections, he added.
