Srinagar, Oct 9: National Conference-Congress alliance in Kargil has swept the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council-Kargil elections in a big victory.
While National Conference won 12 seats, Congress bagged 10 seats, and the BJP won two seats. Two seats were won by independents.
Counting of votes for the 30-member Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC), Kargil, were completed yesterday amid strict security.
Commenting on its victory, National Conference in a media statement said Sunday evening, “In celebration of our strong alliance with the Congress party, the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference is delighted to announce its victory in the LAHDC Kargil elections. This result sends a message to all forces and parties that have, undemocratically and unconstitutionally, divided the state of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh without the consent of its people.
Congress said yesterday that the Kargil victory of the alliance was the outcome of the Bharat Jodo Yatra of Rahul Gandhi.
