Gangtok, March 5 Former Chief Minister Pawan Kumar Chamling alleged on Thursday that the Prem Singh Tamang government has disrupted Sikkim's developmental trajectory.
He claimed that Sikkim is experiencing uncertainty and decline in many areas, and the situation on the ground is deeply concerning.
"The progressive developmental trajectory that the Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) had established during its approximately 25 years of rule has been disrupted, and our state is experiencing uncertainty and decline in many areas," he said in a social media post.
"However, today, the reality before us is deeply worrying," the five-term former CM claimed.
He claimed that the state that his government had collectively built through years of hard work, innovation, and careful governance is facing serious challenges.
"At this critical moment, we must renew our collective resolve for Navnirman — the rebuilding and restoration of Sikkim," the 75-year-old SDF supremo said and reiterated his party's commitment to bring Sikkim back to the path of peace, progress, and prosperity with the help of the people.
Chamling thanked the people for turning out in large numbers to participate in the 34th Foundation Day celebrations of the SDF on Wednesday, saying that the presence and enthusiasm of a large gathering reflected a deep faith and affection for the party.
"SDF has always been a party of the Sikkimese people. For decades, we had the honour and responsibility of serving our state with dedication, commitment, and pride," the former chief minister said.
Under the SDF government, Sikkim moved forward on a strong path of peace, stability, and progress, earning recognition across the country and the world as a peaceful and progressive state with forward-looking policies, he claimed.
