In a press release, the party maintained that under the direction of BJP State President Phunchok Stanzin, the below-mentioned Councillors of LAHDC Kargil hereby decided that BJP is withdrawing support from LAHDC- Kargil from this date.

“The decision was taken after a thorough discussion with all the stakeholders and BJP executive members and functionaries.

The party alleged “lackadaisical approach” of LAHDC Kargil where the council is not serving its constitutional responsibilities as reasons behind withdrawing support from the council.

The party further alleged that the allotted funds for the purpose of public welfare were also not translated in a transparent and accountable manner.

“The influence of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) is also not favouring public welfare as such, instead, JKNC is resorting to vendetta politics which ultimately creates mistrust between the public and LAHDC-Kargil”, maintained the press release.

and Constitutional responsibilities.
