Northeast Desk, 18th April: In a significant political development, Lobzang Bhutia, the Vice President of the Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM) party, has tendered his resignation from both his position and primary membership within the party. Bhutia’s departure from the SKM marks a notable shift in Sikkim’s political landscape, given his influential role within the party.
Bhutia’s decision to resign from the SKM coincides with his announcement of joining the Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) party, indicating a significant allegiance change within the state’s political sphere.
In his resignation letter addressed to the concerned authorities, Bhutia stated his intention clearly, expressing his resignation from both his position and primary membership within the SKM.
Having previously served as the SKM’s candidate in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections from the Barfung constituency, Bhutia’s departure from such a prominent role within the SKM signals a significant shift in Sikkim’s political dynamics.
Bhutia’s decision to join the SDF introduces a new element to Sikkim’s political landscape, especially as the state prepares for future elections and political maneuvers. The move may have implications for both the SKM and the SDF, as well as broader ramifications for the political scenario in Sikkim.
While the reasons behind Bhutia’s resignation from the SKM and his subsequent move to join the SDF remain undisclosed, his departure from the SKM leadership is likely to have an impact within the party and among followers and observers of Sikkim’s political affairs.
