In such circumstances, we are committed to protecting the rights of Sikkim and are dedicated to glorifying it. Therefore, the SDF party has launched the ‘Save Sikkim Campaign’ among the people.

Addressing a public meeting on Friday at Namthang Ratepani, Rai said that SDF is a Sikkim-oriented regional party. As a disciplined and people-friendly party, SDF is committed to the peace and security of the people, which has been disrupted by the SKM government through actions such as murder, violence, and crime.

From the Namthang-Ratepani assembly seat, he urged the party candidate Suman Pradhan and himself for the Lok Sabha seat.
