National Conference has criticised the central government’s decision. The decision involves appointing Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kavinder Gupta as Ladakh’s Lieutenant Governor. NC spokesperson Tanvir Sadiq said this move contradicts BJP’s claims made during the abrogation of Article 370. He added that the appointment exposes BJP’s real motives. BJP welcomed the appointment and felicitated Gupta in Jammu.
