In Sikkim, BJP ties up with SKM party for 21 Oct Assembly bypolls; saffron party to contest from Gangtok, Martam-Rumtek seats

Firstpost  

Gangtok: The BJP, which drew a blank in the Sikkim Assembly elections earlier this year, has tied up with the ruling SKM in the state for the 21 October by-polls to three Assembly seats. Addressing a joint press meet here on Saturday, BJP’s Sikkim in-charge Nitin Navin said the two parties have decided to work together to speed up development in the border state. The saffron party is set to contest the by-polls from Gangtok and Martam-Rumtek Assembly seats, reserved for indigenous Bhutia and Lepcha communities, respectively, while the ruling Sikkim Krantikari Morcha will field its candidate from Poklok-Kamrang seat. Among other demands, the state has long been seeking Assembly seat reservation for Limboo and Tamang communities and tribal status for 11 “left-out” communities, Rai said.
