GANGTOK, 28 Mar: Sikkim Democratic Front [SDF] has termed
the complaint submitted by Sikkim Krantikari Morcha [SKM] to the Election
Department as “a foolish step”.
SKM had written to the Chief Electoral Officer on Thursday demanding
that the SDF party’s symbol be changed. SKM Lok Sabha candidate, TN Dhakal had
alleged that the SDF president Pawan Chamling violated the code of conduct by allegedly
misguiding the public through a statement made at a public meeting in Melli recently.
Mr Chamling, he claimed, had said that the electronic voting machine would
sound an alert when they voted for SDF.
“The people of Sikkim are aware about the functioning of
EVMs,” underlined SDF spokesperson, Bhim Dahal.
Commenting on the allegations made by Mr. Dhakal over what
he saw as mistakes in SDF’s Lok Sabha candidate, PD Rai’s nomination papers,
the SDF spokesperson said, “He [TN Dhakal] wants to compete alone in the race
that’s why he is leveling such futile allegations”.
Convenor of SDF youth wing, GM Gurung said that SKM is a
party that wants to destroy Sikkim while SDF wants the development of the
people and state.
