Dr. Chamling :"MY KARMA MY DHARMA IS WITH ME"

Chief Minister Dr.Pawan Chamling today outlined a new vision of a Vibrant and Developed Sikkim where no person or region is left out of the journey of development and progress. After unfurling the national flag at the Palzor Stadium, Dr. Chamling sounded at his best when he said "as I stand here and look at our tricolour fly high and fly majestically, And I look back at coming of SDF Government 12 years 9 months ago to change the destiny of Sikkim from a state in finacial mess where payment of Government Employees was met through loans from Central Bankof India to today's Sikkim after SDF government coming in power,'Lakhpatis of yesterday turned into Crorepatis and daily workers wages from Rs.20 a day has increased fivefolds to Rs.100 a day". It all happened because of good and developmental policies for economic upliftment undertaken by the government for future of Sikkim. The Government has to provide Peace,Security,Opportunities to People,Justice andRights to freedom,expression and Work ,all of which have been duly done by Sikkim Democratic Front Government for a secure and peaceful Sikkim .Government has provided the young childrens of Sikkim education facilities at all levels and also keeping in mind slogan"Healthy bodies & Healthy Minds" SDF government was the first government to undertake mass scale vaccination programme for Hepititis-B for childrens in State.NelsonMandela ,The Father of Forgiveness should be an idol for younger generation of Sikkimwho should aspire to be best in their fields and activities by giving importance and emphasiszing elements of Confidence,Hard Work and Will Power and ChiefMinister once again gave all the facilities to provide scholarships to students who are able to secure a placement for further studies in any foreign universities at the government expenses in the event of student'sfamily is economically unable to meet the costs of such studies.

SDF Government has strategy of development for Sikkim.An Integral development comprising the incoroporation of activities in Eco-Friendly tourism,Floriculture & Horticulture of Roses, Orchids,Lillelium,Orange,SunahaKhari,Revival of Cardamom as Cash crop,Organic Farming and tapping the natural resources of water through hydel electric projects.
"Government Role is mere being facilators.Dr. Chamling also refferred to a letter from an international personality who has appreciated the work undertaken towards Organic Farming in Sikkim.
He added he felt saddened and anguished by the fact that those people who went to newDelhi and expressed their opinions against the the start of Nathula trade on the pretext it would be affecting tribal people of bhutia and lepchas despite proved wrong by successful opening of Nathula trade without anysuch after-effects and are again joining their forces together as "Din Mein Sutne" protestors under The Affected Citizens of Teesta who have not only failed to comprehend the right spirit and values and meaning of 'SatyaGraha' as identified and taught by Gandhiji who undertook it to free India from clutches of foreign powers. Here in Sikkim same is misused for wrong purposes that stands for anti-Sikkim policies.


Dr.Chamling said he is firm believer in first PM of India Nehru who while building HiraKund Dam in 1948 said ,"If you are to suffer,You should suffer in the interests of country" therefore he would not bow downs to demands of anti-development and anti-sikkim people raised by ACT in any circumstances. Chief Minister told the massive gathering at Palzor Stadium that a cyber warfare is launched through "WeepingSikkim"website by Pemzang Tenzing who just added lepcha to his surname by engaging into anti-national and anti-development work through cyber campaign.He further added that promoter of 'weepingSikkim' Pemzang Tenzing has collectedRs.40 lakhs from state government towards land compensation towards his land for hydel projects and now devoted to activities that amounts to anti-national activities.Testen Lepcha who is Chief Co-ordinator of ACT is general secreatry of SPCC although he says he resigned from the post and President of ACT Athup Lepcha became a Minister in Sikkim Government on slogan'Return of Sikkim from India' .All thses people are political people and therefore how can ACT be non-political organisation as they term it.He revealed to public that indefinite hunger strike at BL House would be today joined by SIBLAC activists Tseten Tashi Bhutia and KungaNima Lepcha.In close to 14 years of SDF government in state ,Chief Minister added that He always worked to provide dignity and respect in all spheres to bhutia and lepcha communities therefore he requested people from these communities to not involve andmake politics as their business.SIBLAC should have a non-political leader at the top for its affairs. Someone who is well-versed with the culture,traditions andvalues of both communities i.e.bhutia and lepchas to work for community upliftment but not people who are solely having a purpose of turning politics into business of personal gains.

Even Lepcha Priest (Bonthing) who was made to join hunger strike for a day was paid Rs.10000/-by way of settling his loan in a Mangan Bank by ACT. The left party CPI-M is instigating all opposition political parties to advocate for Land Reform Act which seeks to take away land bank of rich and zamidaar people like some Kazi families who have 2000-3000 acres of land in their ownerships would be the first victim of such enactment if undertaken.SDF Government has resisted this enactment ,although it could do it infew weeks if itswant , because it doesnot believes in making Rich people poor but believes in making Poor people Rich. Many so called protestors are spreading information that TeestaRiver would be dried up if the hydel projects are implemnted .The Hoover Dam built in early1930s on river hovver hasnot resulted in anything like that.there are examples of hydel prtojects such as one on Chukka River in Bhutan,Yangtse River in China andCanada is also hydro-power country but these projects hasnot dried up Nigera Fallsof Canada.Therefore the talks of Teesta drying up is nothing but pure imagination and part of misinformation campaign.

The SDF Government targets tomake revenue through hydro power as its biggest source in future as per its policy therefore in any condition and circumstances, his government wouldnotbow-down to demands of scrapping these hydel electric projects.SDF wants to turn Sikkim into Singapore,Switzerland,Norway but not into Ethopia,Nepal" THeGovernment would not feel thretened by the protests and processions of small groups of disgruntal peoples who are spreading anti-development and anti-Sikkim conspiracy."I have always spoken truth before people and always will.If My Government is sacrificed for standing for Sikkim ,fordevelopment than So be it" Iam here before you because of people and Iwill behereagain if people want me back and nothing can chnage that,he added.

He requested people to partcipate in upcomingPanchayat and Municipal elections in Sikkim whole heartedly .The Outsiders are trying to disturb the Peace in Sikkim.If the peace is disturbed and threatned than Police would be its first casuality as it would the force that would haveto fight it out the insurgency of any kinds therefore Sikkim Police isone of the most happiest and stress free force should timely contend these forces and find out whoare people spreading communal hatred through pamphlets.Further,He requested business community in state to not to give support and financial patronage to anti-sikkim and anti-developement forces who are solely motivated to disturb peace in state.SDFGovernment would never compromise with elements who Oppose development and ispartof wider conspiracy to destroythe capacity and economic prospects of people and Sikkim.

"MY KARMA MY DHARMA IS WITH ME". Sikkim Democratic Front Government would always engage itself in the constructive and thrive on positive energy and would fight it out with forces that stands against Sikkim,its peaceful people amd its developmental works.
