GANGTOK, 27 Mar: Sikkim Krantikari Morcha [SKM] party has filed
a complaint with the Chief Electoral Officer against the Sikkim Democratic
Front party president, Chief Minister Pawan Chamling, alleging violation of the
Model Code of Conduct.
SKM has alleged that while addressing a public meeting at
Melli recently, Mr Chamling urged voters to vote for the ‘umbrella’ which is
the SDF party’s symbol and allegedly also said that the electronic voting
machine will sound an alert when they do so. It is alleged that Mr Chamling
also said that the EVM would not sound any such alert if people voted for other
parties.
The SKM party has also submitted a CD containing this speech
along with the complaint for necessary action.
SKM spokesperson, MN Dahal stated today that the party has
full faith in the Election Department and the CEO. “Whatever complaints we have
raised till now the department has taken seriously and addressed them
accordingly,” he said.
