SKM pre-election manifesto a “copy-paste job,” SDF contends

GANGTOK, 07 Feb: Sikkim Democratic Front has stated that the Sikkim Krantikari Morcha’s recently released pre-election manifesto is nothing but an eyewash since all the promises made in the manifesto have already been fulfilled by the present government.
In a press release issued today, the ruling party has alleged that the SKM pre-election manifesto was a “copy-paste” of what the SDF has already fulfilled during its tenure in office in the state and there are no issues left for the opposition to take up.
Countering SKM’s allegation that SDF has made Sikkim a debt ridden state, the ruling party has said that every state has its share in the loans that the centre gives out and the Sikkim government has taken the least amount of loan from the centre in comparison to other states.
The release further states that during the last two decades Sikkim has been shining in terms of prosperity and development.
SDF has further dismissed allegations of trying to lure and mislead voters by distributing government schemes only on paper just before the assembly election, as is being alleged by SKM. The party has stated that the government has distributed benefits worth more than Rs 800 crores in the ongoing series of Gram Swaraj Melas.
Refuting allegations of involvement of foreign nationals in Sikkim politics, SDF has in turn accused SKM of anti-national activities for bringing up this issue, the release states.
