MANGAN, 23 Sept: The Sikkim Sangram Parishad [SSP], led by its president Nar Bahadur Bhandari, held a public meeting in Mangan on Sunday. Mr. Bhandari was accompanied by the party vice president, Rinzing Namgyal, general secretary BB Basnet, vice president, Cheli Morcha wing, Sumitra Rai, and other party workers.
Addressing the meeting, Mr. Bhandari highlighted the increasing crime rate in the state, which, he said, was due to the administrative weakness of the present government. He also spoke on several problems like unemployment, suicide and drugs. He further alleged that the present government is using the divide and rule policy creating rifts between different communities in the state.
While commenting on the prospective party candidates, he stated that the SSP candidates for the upcoming elections will be selected after a proper survey and added that the people of Sikkim should be provided 50 units of free electricity by all the mega hydel project developers.
He further stated that the amount of subsidized ration under PDS has been reduced due to which many in the state are facing problems. He alleged that money is only flowing to the upper class people while the middle and lower classes are suffering.
Earlier, the meeting had started with a welcome address by the SSP, general secretary.
