The BJP has declared the People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) as a Gang that wants “foreign forces to intervene in Jammu and Kashmir”, but it is sharing power with the National Conference (NC), one of the main parties of the alliance, in the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council, Kargil (LAHDCK).
NC president Farooq Abdullah is chairperson of the PAGD. Of the 26 elected members of the LAHDCK, 10 are from the NC, eight from the Congress and three from the BJP; there are five Independents. The Ladakh Union Territory administration nominates four members to the 30-member LAHDCK.
Headed by the NC’s Feroz Khan as Chairman/Chief Executive Councillor, the Hill Council has BJP’s Mohammad Ali Chandan as one of the four other Executive Councillors, with the portfolios of Health, Revenue, Agriculture, Forests, Wildlife, Industrial Training Institute, and Soil Conservation.
