BJP blames SKM for backing out of pre-poll alliance in Sikkim

The Hindu  

The Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday hit out at the Sikkim Krantikari Morcha for backing out of the alliance between the two parties for inexplicable reasons a few days after making a firm commitment on the issue. “We were ready to accommodate most of the demands by the SKM leadership to sew up an alliance for the Sikkim Assembly and Lok Sabha polls, but the P.S. Golay-led party chickened out at the last minute without giving any reasons,” a senior BJP leader, who was involved in talks with the SKM leadership, said. Ruing at the missed opportunity to oust the 25-year-old Sikkim Democratic Front government from power, he said that the SKM will be held “squarely responsible” if Pawan Kumar Chamling returns to power for a sixth term in the State. He said that the BJP has put candidates on 12 Assembly seats and the lone Lok Sabha seat with an aim to open its account at the hustings.
