no alternative’ of the SDF party in the forthcoming Assembly elections in Sikkim:Chamling

Gangtok,19 April: Claiming that even the opposition political parties have already ‘conceded defeat’, Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) president and Chief Minister Pawan Chamling today claimed that there is ‘no alternative’ of the SDF party in the forthcoming Assembly elections in Sikkim.

“Actions speak louder than words. People must judge SDF by our works and performances in the last 15 years while casting their votes. If there is a better party which has better programmes for Sikkim than us, vote for them. But there is no better party than SDF right now”, said Mr. Chamling in an election campaign meeting at Paljor Stadium here in Gangtok.

“There is no alternative of SDF party and I am confident that people will elect a conscious party and leader to government in coming elections”, said Mr. Chamling.

Stating that SDF faces no hurdles in the coming elections, the party president claimed that even the opposition parties have already conceded defeated. “The workers of the opposition parties have already given up only, only their leaders are fooling people with baseless issues. The opposition leaders have no issues or morality and people must be careful of such destructive forces”, he said.

Downsizing the opposition parties as non-entities in Sikkim, Mr. Chamling said that the main issues of Sikkim are being overshadowed by baseless issues. Our main issue is development of Sikkim while unfortunately the opposition parties are trying to suppress the real issues with baseless issues, he said appealing the people about their crucial responsibility in the forthcoming elections.

“People must vote for establishing a people’s government and realize the importance of capable leadership to lead Sikkim in the 21st century. Don’t go after the date-expired opposition parties. Today only SDF party is the only party in Sikkim which is capable to fulfill and realize the dreams, aspirations and hopes of the Sikkimese people”, said Mr. Chamling. He added that the victory of SDF will not only be the victory of the party but ‘it will be the victory for the Sikkimese people’. Sikkim and Sikkimese people must win, he said.

“After we came to power in 1994, SDF has restored the pride and freedom of Sikkimese people. Give another mandate to us by casting your votes to SDF on April 30. There is no bigger court than people’s court. We have always respected the mandate given to us and never betrayed the people”, said Mr. Chamling.

Sikkim goes to polls on April 30. Elections to the 32 Assembly constituencies and lone Lok Sabha seat will be held simultaneously.
