SIKKIM:Business community will be given SDF ticket to contest in Municipal elections: Chamling



JORETHANG, March 4: Chief Minister Pawan Chamling today announced that representatives from the business community will be given the opportunity to contest in the municipality election slated for April 27.

Addressing the 18th Foundation Day of the ruling SDF party here at Jorethang playground, Mr. Chamling said members from business community will be allowed to contest Municipal election from SDF party tickets along with local leaders. He said that his government has provided equal rights and security to the businessmen in Sikkim and hence they should actively take part in the election which will prove a sense of belongingness.


“If members of the business community do not contest in elections, then it is an indication that they are here to just earn money and not interested in the overall development of the State,” he said.

On the occasion, different organisations like Bihari Jagran Manch, Muslim Community of Sikkim and other Business Community felicitated the Chief Minister.
