Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president JP Nadda on Saturday congratulated party leaders from Ladakh on being elected as chairman and deputy chairman of Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC). "Congratulations to Tashi Gyalson and Tsering Angchuk of Ladakh BJP on being elected as new Chairman and Dy Chairman of Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council. Historic result of elections reflect Ladakh's unwavering trust in BJP and PM Modi's leadership," Nadda's tweet read.

Voting for LAHDC was held on Thursday. BJP had won 15 out of 26 seats in the elections. The Congress won nine seats and two were bagged by the independents.
