SDF rallies for votes at Lower Sorok

NAMCHI, 30 Oct: A public meeting of the ruling SDF party for the upcoming Panchayat polls was held here at Lower Sorok playground under Sorok Shyampani Zilla territorial constituency. The meeting was held today for Zilla panchayat and Ward Level elections of Upper Sorok.
The meeting was held to campaign for the party candidate for both the above mentioned seats. Chairman Labour Welfare Board, Passang Rinzing Sherpa was present as the chief guest along with Political Secretary to the Chief Minister, KN Rai who was present as the special guest.
Others present were Advisor Ecclesiastical Department, Lakpa Ghising and other party workers, ex panchayat members, cheli convener Sanju Rai and secretary of Yuva Morcha South District, Uday Chandra Rai.
The chief guest Passang Rinzing Sherpa in his address urged the gathering to support the party candidate and said that if the independent candidate wins the panchayat poll with the support of the people then the party would not involve that candidate and his supporters in the party later.
He said that the candidate and his supporters would not be given any kind of benefits by the party and that the candidate will remain as anti-SDF after the polls. He also urged the gathering to support the party candidates.
KN Rai in his address said that the claim by some independent candidates that the SDF gave them tickets for the panchayat poll is false and are misguiding people by saying so. In this context he urged the people to be aware and to bring forth the party candidates as the winners of the upcoming panchayat polls with complete support.
Mr Rai further added that people should focus on support for the party rather than the panchayat candidate. The cheli convener of Poklok Kamrang Constituency, Sanju Rai, secretary Yuva Morcha South District, Uday Chandra Rai and secretary CLC Poklok Kamrang, Prakash Rai also addressed the gathering.
Following this on 31 October a similar meeting will be held at Mazitar Compound Ward, South Sikkim wherein similar issues related with the up coming panchayat poll will be discussed.
