Golay campaigns in Upper Burtuk

GANGTOK, 28 Mar: SKM president and former SDF MLA from Upper Burtuk, PS Tamang [Golay], who is contesting from the constituency again this time as an SKM candidate today sought fresh mandate from the people of the area. Mr. Tamang is also contesting from Namthang-Rateypani.

Addressing a public meeting at Burtuk near the Helipad, Mr. Tamang said that his last term as an MLA was unfruitful because of his differences with the SDF president, Chief Minister Pawan Chamling.

“I could not do much for Burtuk after the 2009 election as Mr. Chamling had already made plans to make my works unsuccessful here,” he alleged. Stating that he has always had the support of the people of the area he expressed hope of similar support this election as well.

“I will completely abide by the public mandate and fulfill all public demands giving utmost priority to them,” he assured. Reiterating SKM’s call for change, he said that people are waiting for 12 April to make this happen. 

Urging his party workers to do their best in the remaining 15 days before the state goes to poll, Mr. Tamang contended that this election was a fight to save Sikkim from the SDF regime. He assured better administration and transparent and good governance if SKM was voted to power. He also assured to provide justice to the old business community who have been residing in Sikkim since before 1975.

Mr. Tamang condemned the attempt to disrupt the meeting today and said that such activities will not be tolerated. He demanded that the accused be booked as per law.
