Srinagar: Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday arrived in Leh on a two-day visit.
Reports said that Rahul was accorded a warm welcome by party leaders and workers at Leh airport. Hundreds of workers were seen raising slogans in favour of Rahul and the party.
This is the first visit of Rahul Gandhi to Ladakh after it was separated from Jammu & Kashmir and accorded the status of a Union Territory.
Though Gandhi is on a personal visit but sources said that he is expected to hold deliberations with Leh and Kargil units of Congress during his two-day stay here.
However, Rahul Gandhi wouldn’t be holding any outdoor political activity.
Rahul is visiting Ladakh at a time when authorities have announced elections for Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council- Kargil.
