1500 vehicles converge on Singtam
Gangtok, May 6: The ruling Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) yesterday took out vehicle rallies across the state to “expose” the allegedly malicious campaign of the opposition parties in the state.
More than 1,500 vehicles filled with party workers and supporters drove around the state as part of the mass awareness drive. According to SDF publicity secretary T.N. Sharma, party supporters from the East and North districts gathered in 500 vehicles at the SDF headquarters on Indira Bypass here.
The convoy travelled through Ranipul, Singtam, Rangpo and Melli, before entering Jorethang in South Sikkim. In Jorethang, they were joined by their counterparts from the other districts, and the entire rally then traversed through Namchi, Damthang, Rabongla and Temi Tarku before culminating at Singtam in East Sikkim.
Sharma said the rally’s objective was countering the Opposition’s tirade of misinformation aimed at inciting the public. “The rally was peaceful and successful,” Sharma said.
Opposition leaders were not available for comments on the SDF’s accusations
