Shyari duo announce plans for new political party

GANGTOK, 19 Nov: A duo from Lower Shyari, Santosh Darjee and Kaushal Rai, today announced plans to launch a new political party in January next year. The two are part of a Gangtok-based NGO, Link Himalayas Foundation.
Addressing a press conference at the Press Club of Sikkim, they informed that they recently toured various parts of the state and ‘analyzed’ the social and political situation of these areas and also observed the recently concluded Panchayat Election in the state.
“At present, the paper work process is going on and the party will be launched in January next year with new and young faces”, said the duo. They added that fresh faces will lead the new political outfit and leaders from other political parties will not be allowed in.
However, they added that the party will allow support from outside. The duo further stated that since leaders keep shifting allegiance to different parties for their own personal interests, such acts will not be entertained by their party.
“Corruption has become part of the system in the state and the state also has huge debt at present. For this, all democratic leaders from the past to the present are responsible,” they said. They further stressed that the CBI has to come to Sikkim and added that the party will contest the 2014 general elections.
