SKM against personality worship: Golay

GANGTOK, 08 Oct: The former SDF legislator and now Sikkim Krantikari Morcha leader, PS Tamang [Golay], today directed party workers not to use his photographs in the party badge which, he underlined, was against the very ethics of the party and further directed party workers to immediately stop further distribution of the badges.
He said that the SKM party is against the very practice of ‘personality worship’ and added that this culture must be put to an end. He was addressing SKM workers at the party head office here in Tadong.
“Sikkim needs parivartan- not a change of a person but of the system itself,” he said. Mr. Tamang, who has been more conspicuous with his absence from party functions, today assured party workers that he will henceforth dedicate more time to the party.
“In my 15-year association with the SDF party, I have seen the negative impact of deifying or hero-worshipping a person and want to set up a new framework based purely on political principles”, he said. He reiterated the party agenda of ‘one man one post’ while welcoming new entrants to the party.
The Sikkim Krantikari  Morcha today welcomed around 275 new members here at its party office. Amongst those who joined SKM today most are from Kabi-Lungtsok constituency of North district and Namcheybong constituency in East.
Former chairperson of Sikkim State Child Rights Commission, Chumki Saring and retired educationist, Taramani Moktan also formally joined SKM today. An SKM press release issued today further claims that 648 people joined the SKM at its head office here today.
