GANGTOK, 14 Feb: Sikkim Krantikari Morcha president, PS Tamang
[Golay] has stated that instead of accepting his challenge for a public debate
the Chief Minister was bringing up the corruption charges against him. He has
said that the challenge placed on 04 February is still on if the CM wants to
take it on.
A press release issued by Mr. Tamang has alleged that the CM
misused his post by stopping the CBI from coming to the State by issuing a
notification to that effect.
“If I was involved in the Animal Husbandry scam then why was
I made Minister for two terms and then Chairman of Industries Department,” Mr. Tamang
has said. All the allegations against
him are a conspiracy to thwart his political career, he contends.
