Ladakh leaders have claimed a major breakthrough in talks with the Centre, saying a customised political framework with CM-like powers may soon be introduced.
Sources said that the BJP high command might assign him some important assignment in the party setup during the assembly polls in West Bengal.
Its term expired yesterday and the sprawling Leh district that borders China and Pakistan is now without an elected institution that takes care of the requirements of people of the area. Kargil has a separate LAHDC.
They also demanded immediate release of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, who was detained on September 26 under the National Security Act (NSA) and lodged in the Jodhpur jail in Rajasthan.
The talks will restart after a four-month stalemate. The last meeting between representatives of the Leh Apex Body (LAB) and the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) with Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) officials was held on 27 May.
