Close on the heels of West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose’s resignation, Ladakh Lieutenant Governor (LG) Kavinder Gupta also resigned from his post on Thursday evening, indicating at the possibility of large scale reshuffles of gubernatorial posts across the country.The developments also gave rise to speculations regarding the impending Cabinet reshuffle.Gupta has resigned from his post just about nine months after assuming office as the Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh. He had taken oath on July 18, 2025, becoming the third LG of the Union Territory.His tenure coincided with rising unrest in the region, where civil society groups and organisations such as the Leh Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Alliance have been protesting for statehood, Sixth Schedule protections and job reservations for locals.The protests were part of a broader movement that began after Ladakh was carved out of the former state of Jammu and Kashmir in 2019 and placed under direct Central administration, triggering demands for greater political autonomy and constitutional safeguards for the region.Gupta’s resignation comes amid continuing political debate and public mobilisation over Ladakh’s administrative future and constitutional status.
