He also laid importance on the maximum voting on the poll day by all the eligible voters and said that it is important to bring the voter to the polling booth and efforts should be made by the party workers to meet this challenge through strong resolve and conviction.
He said that the ground level workers are the real ambassadors of the party as they are the face of the party in the localities and reflect the commitment of the party to uplift the socio-economic status of the people, who were earlier neglected by the parties like NC, Congress and PDP.
Gyalson appreciated the efforts of fellow BJP cadre in reaching up to the voters and along with them carrying the significance of the development works in Ladakh. He also appealed to the party cadre to join him in the rally in huge numbers.
