So-called opposition desperately seeking attention: SKM

GANGTOK,: Ruling SKM on Wednesday asserted that the “so-called” opposition parties are making unnecessary issues out of nothing and “desperately seeking attention”.

“One so-called opposition parties of Sikkim who barely managed to secure 6% of the votes and absolute forfeited candidates in the recent elections are now making unnecessary issues out of nothing. In fact Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM) feels pity for them as they are desperately seeking attention. However they must remember that they have been thoroughly rejected and disliked by the people of Sikkim as their vote share clearly reflects their standing,” said the SKM in a press statement.

The SKM was responding to the allegations levelled by Citizen Action Party-Sikkim over the recent transfer of 59 primary teachers. The ruling front maintained that when government job is transferable, and it is the prerogative of the government, making a political issue out of it is shameful. The SKM also suggested the opposition party to refer to Sikkim government (Gazette Ref. No: 261/HRDD/ADM Dated: 03/05/2017) and Sikkim Service Rules.

The ruling front maintained that the opposition should play a constructive role with a clear vision and ideas to attract the masses rather than indulging in ego-centric politics. As we all know under the pragmatic leadership of Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang (Golay), Sikkim has been drastically transformed with every sector being taken care of without any discriminatory and divisive thoughts, said the party.

“As a result SKM now have a hundred per cent majority which the opposition must accept rather than remaining in denial. They should also understand that raising unnecessary loud voices won’t work as the people have given their thumping mandate to the SKM party.”

“Now, all opposition parties and so-called social activists are being strongly slammed by the people, leaving them with no chance of rising again. The Sikkim Krantikari Morcha party and the government do not give any attention to such baseless issues. We firmly believe that once rejected by the people they should step away from politics as it does not suit them or as we call them the perfect losers,” said the ruling front.
