"To spread word about developments post-Article 370 abrogation..." Pralhad Joshi takes swipe at Rahul Gandhi's trip to Pangong Lake

Leh (Ladakh) [India], August 19 (ANI): As Congress leader Rahul Gandhi set off for Pangong Lake, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi on Saturday took a swipe saying that the Wayand MP has taken a trip to the valley to witness and spread the word about post-Article 370 developments in Leh and Ladakh. 
Taking to social media platform X, formerly called Twitter, the Union Minister posted a video comparing the quality of road infrastructure in Ladakh during the tenure of the Congress-led UPA government with the BJP government.
"To witness and spread the word about post-Article 370 developments in Leh and Ladakh, Shri Rahul Gandhi himself has taken a trip to the valley. We are elated and delighted to watch glimpses of his road trip," he said. 
Rahul embarked on a bike ride to Pangong Lake in Ladakh on Saturday to celebrate his father and former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's birthday on August 20. 
Taking to the social media platform, Instagram, Rahul Gandhi wrote, "On our way to Pangong Lake, which my father used to say, is one of the most beautiful places in the world."
This is Rahul’s first visit to Ladakh since Jammu and Kashmir was bifurcated into two Union Territories, Ladakh and J-K, following the removal of Articles 370 and 35 (A) on August 5, 2019.
Rahul Gandhi arrived in Leh to begin his two-day visit to the Union Territory on Thursday but his tour was extended till August 25, party sources said.
On Friday he interacted with youth in Leh. 
The source further said that he will also watch a football match in Leh. Rahul has been a footballer player during his college days.
He will also participate in the meeting of the 30-member Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC)-Kargil elections on August 25.
Congress and National Conference have forged a pre-poll alliance against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the Kargil council polls scheduled to be held on September 10.
Although the Congress MP visited Srinagar and Jammu twice earlier this year, he, however, did not travel to Ladakh.
In January, the Congress leader visited Jammu and Srinagar during his Bharat Jodo Yatra. Again on a personal visit in February, he visited the Gulmarg ski resort. (ANI)
