SKM convenes CEC meeting, takes stock

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.
