GANGTOK, 12 June: The Central Executive Committee of Sikkim
Krantikari Morcha party met today for the first time since the assembly and
parliamentary elections. The party president PS Tamang [Golay], who is also elected
as Member of Legislative Assembly for the fifth consecutive term, dissolved all
the party organizations today.
An SKM press release informs that Mr Tamang was nominated the
party president again and took charge of the party afresh today.
“We will honour the people’s mandate and will fulfill the
people’s mandate while playing a responsible role in assembly,” he stated. He
added that for a one and a half year old party to have ten 10 MLAs in a house
of 32 was a sign of remarkable growth.
Earlier, the party’s West District in-charge, Birbal Subba
resigned from his post on moral grounds taking responsibility of the party’s poor
election showing in the district where it drew a blank.
While placing the party's election performance report at the
meeting, Mr. Subba said that the party did not get enough time for campaigning
and was not able to reach to all the people in time.
The party’s vice-president and South district in-charge, Bhojraj
Rai also submitted his resignation and placed the South district’s performance report.
The party got 43 percent of votes which shows the party's popularity in such a short
span of time, he stated. He also alleged that SDF won the elections only on the
basis of ‘money power’, the release mentions.
Both have meanwhile expressed their complete support to the
party and vowed to work with full dedication in the coming days.
