He accused past Congress government of ignoring the interests of Ladakh and said, "UPA gave Kashmir a central University in 2011, Jammu fought and took a central university. I was a Student Union leader. We demanded a central university in Ladakh, but we did not get any. Prime Minister Modi Ji recently gave us a university, 'Modi Hai to Mumkin Hai' (When there is Modi, it is possible)".
