While the BJP managed to placate its annoyed sitting Lok Sabha member Jamyang Tsering Namgyal, INDIA bloc failed to evolve consensus on a common candidate.
BJP has deputed Union Minister Kiran Rijiju and the party s national general secretary Tarun Chugh to placate Jamyang Tsering Namgyal who is sulking after being dropped for Lok Sabha elections.
Tashi Gyalson, the newly announced candidate, holds a prominent position in the region as the chairman-cum-chief executive councillor of the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council in Leh.
After the party announces to field Tashi Gyalson for the Ladakh Lok Sabha seat, Jamyang Tsering Namgyal opposes the party s decision to replace him without any reason.
