Sikkim Congress campaign for bye-polls elections

GANGTOK, September 6: Sikkim Pradesh Congress Committee (SPCC) is presently campaigning actively in all parts of Namchi-Singithang constituency for the upcoming bye-polls. The campaign is being spearheaded by SPCC president Nar Bahadur Bhandari and senior party members.
The election campaign of SPCC covered today Rong and Singtam Palam polling booths of the constituency where people from large numbers from neighbouring areas gathered to hear Mr. Bhandari and candidate Yuva Raj Rai.
A press release informs that the people response to make the Congress candidate win from Namchi-Singithang constituency is heartening. “They feel convinced that strong opposition is the need of the hour to ensure growth and development in a democratic manner which is not available under the present Sikkim Democratic Front government”, states the release.
The release informs that Mr. Bhandari met the people of the polling booths falling under the constituency and enquired about the benefits given to them by the present State government which were sent by the Central government for their welfare and progress.
“The people in one voice denied having received any benefit of any Central scheme”, the release says.
Mr. Bhandari has assured to take up the matter with the Centre.
