GANGTOK, 23 Oct: Sikkim Krantikari Morcha women’s wing organized an awareness programme today here at the party head-office. The meeting, which was chaired by the working president, Bharati Sharma, was attended by women party supporters from all four districts.
An SKM press release issued by the publicity secretary, Jacob Khaling claims that during the meeting 65 women of the ruling party joined the SKM.
The release further informs that in his address, PS Tamang [Golay] expressed his gratitude to the women folk for supporting SKM and stated that so far women in the state have been voting for male Chief Ministerial candidates and have not been able to make a place for themselves at that level. On the same, he stressed that now it was time for women to see themselves as the next CM.
Mr. Tamang expressed that he has the desire, vision and dream to see a woman hold the post of Chief Minister. He added that now the men also have to work together in the mission to empower women. He further stated that it was his wish that the party’s command be handed over to a woman. If women come forward then the party is ready to field women candidates in all 31 territorial constituencies, he added.
He went on to state that the ruling party says that it will win the upcoming election with its money power but if money can buy votes then the SDF government would not have come to power in 1994.
Working president, Ms Sharma, women’s wing chief convener, Mingma Lhamu Bhutia and other members of the women’s wing also addressed the meeting.
