GANGTOK, 21 Mar: Political
loyalties continue to fluctuate with news of the Gangtok Mayor KN Topgay expected
to tender his resignation from the post of Mayor, quit the party on 22 March
and officially join the Sikkim Krantikari Morcha [SKM].
As of now, this is not official but sources inform that he
has made up his mind of resigning from the post of Mayor, and the Sikkim
Democratic Front [SDF] party and then join the SKM party.
Sources close to Mr. Topgay admit that he was an SDF party
ticket aspirant for either Gangtok or Syari, but what pushed him over the edge
was what he saw as dismissive and almost hostile attitude of some of his
colleagues in the party who are now the official candidates.
SKM party officials, when contacted, confirmed that they
were in talks with Mr. Topgay, but said that nothing was official yet. As
mentioned, it is likely that he will complete the formalities on Saturday. Speculations
are rife that he is being considered for the Gangtok ticket by SKM. Gangtok is
among the 10 constituencies for which the party has not announced it candidates
yet.
