Chief Minister of Sikkim Prem Singh Tamang-Golay attended the 72nd Plenary Meeting of the North Eastern Council(NEC) Today at Agartala. The meeting was chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. He shared his participation through his Official facebook Page, there he writes-

"It was a great honor and privilege to attend the 72nd Plenary Meeting of the North Eastern Council (NEC) chaired by the Hon'ble Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah Ji today in Agartala.

We are deeply grateful for the invaluable support, strategic suggestions, and visionary guidance extended consistently by the Hon'ble Home Minister.
During the meeting, I highlighted several critical issues concerning our state, Sikkim, while emphasizing the importance of our collective vision for a sustainable and prosperous future for the North Eastern region.

Expressing my gratitude for the Union Budget 2024-25, I reiterated the urgent need for united efforts to achieve the vision of Viksit Bharat-2047. Recognizing the vital role of tourism and the MSME sectors as the lifeblood of our economy, I appealed to the Central Government to extend robust support in upgrading tourism infrastructure, facilitating development, and ensuring proper maintenance.

I proposed the initiation of a pilot project under the aegis of NEC and the Central Government to enhance tourism and entrepreneurship in the region. Further, I underscored the immense potential of eco tourism, highlighting a few successful projects executed in Sikkim.

Similarly, one of the key issues I raised was the reopening of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra through Sikkim. I also reiterated the necessity of establishing an Integrated Check Post and a Multimodal Corridor at Chiwa Bhanjyang on the Nepal border, which would significantly bolster regional connectivity and trade.

I extended my appreciation to the Central Government for the UNNATI Scheme 2024, aimed at empowering our youth through employment generation projects.
Moreover, I brought to the forefront the disruptions caused along NH10 due to the Teesta floods and river silting in low lying areas, urging for immediate redressal. I also emphasized the importance of expediting the completion of the railway project to strengthen connectivity.

Regarding Pakyong Airport, I stressed the need for all-weather connectivity and called for structural remedies to ensure continuous services.

I also informed the house about Sikkim’s upcoming Golden Jubilee Year of Statehood, which will be celebrated on 16th May 2025, marking 50 years since attaining statehood.

I extend my heartiest thanks to the Hon'ble Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah Ji, Hon'ble Governors, Hon'ble Chief Ministers, Hon'ble Minister of DoNER, MoS DoNER, officials of NEC, and both Central and State Government representatives for their insights and collaboration.

A special note of gratitude to the Hon'ble Chief Minister and the Government of Tripura for their warmth, hospitality, and seamless organization of this important meeting."

16th Rholu Diwas, Venue- Rholu, South Sikkim Date - 21/12/2024

Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang-Golay shared on his official facebook Page and writes-

"Today, we commemorate the 16th anniversary of Rholu Diwas, a defining moment in our relentless pursuit of true democracy as envisioned by our forefathers. This historic occasion is a tribute to the unparalleled courage, determination, and indomitable spirit of the people of Sikkim, to whom I extend my deepest gratitude and highest respect on this auspicious day.

I vividly recall the hardships and sacrifices endured during our struggle, which began from the sacred terraces of Rholu Mandir premises The trials and tribulations we faced were immense, yet they were met with unparalleled resolve and unity by our people, whose steadfast devotion and sacrifices became the foundation of the transformative movement against the tyranny of the past regime.
With utmost reverence, I bow in gratitude to the people for their perseverance, sacrifices, and unwavering commitment to justice and democracy. Your courage has meticulously shaped our past continuing to illuminate our path forward.

While we have achieved significant milestones, our mission remains yet unfinished. Together, we must forge ahead with greater resolve to elevate Sikkim as a beacon of progress, unity, and excellence across all spheres.
As we honor this day, we humbly bow before Rolu Manokamana Siddhi Devi, seeking her Divine blessings for the enduring success, prosperity, and wellbeing of every Sikkimese individual.

Let this anniversary inspire us to strengthen our collective resolve and strive harder to realize the dreams of our forefathers and the aspirations of our generations to come."

Jai Rholu Mata!

Healing Harmony: An Apology to Sikkim for Ajoy Edwards’ Misguided Outburst.

As an elected representative of Darjeeling, I am compelled, with great humility and profound regret, to extend an apology to the most honorable and kind-hearted people of Sikkim. Ajoy Edwards, in his rash and reckless statements, has not only failed to represent the dignity of our shared heritage but has also exhibited a disturbing ignorance of the delicate bonds that unite us as neighbors. His remarks, illogical and thoughtless, have struck a discordant note in the symphony of harmony that has long defined the relationship between Sikkim and Darjeeling.

Edwards’ accusation, that Sikkim bears responsibility for a natural calamity, is as absurd as it is audacious. To suggest blocking National Highway 10—an artery of life for a border state—is not only reckless but dangerously cavalier. One wonders if he understands that politics is not a game of hurling accusations but a noble pursuit of solving the intricate puzzles of governance.

Where was this newfound bravery when the Chief Minister of West Bengal, his “Didi,” arrived in Darjeeling with her entourage? Did he raise his voice then for the flood victims he so dramatically weeps for now? No, he stood silent, letting her inaugurate a fair at Chowrasta, his courage seemingly lost amidst the fanfare. Such selective outrage only exposes the shallow depths of his commitment and the glaring inconsistencies in his actions.

Edwards fancies himself a leader, yet his meddling in matters of diplomacy and governance only highlights his inadequacies. He seems blissfully unaware that leadership is not about interfering in the affairs of others but about responsibly addressing the needs of one's own constituency. Darjeeling Sadar 2, the very place that elected him, remains a stark reminder of his neglect—a barren field where no seeds of progress have been sown.

And let us not overlook his political misadventures—a man who could not retain control of the Darjeeling Municipality for even six months after winning it with a majority. Such failures are not just unfortunate; they are emblematic of a deeper incapacity to govern. He now seeks to build castles in the air while standing in the rubble of his glass bakery, oblivious to the cracks beneath his feet.

His much-touted charitable endeavors, funded by missionary donations from abroad, appear to be less about altruism and more about advancing his political ambitions. This dual identity—of a self-proclaimed social worker and a wannabe politician—is nothing but a façade, a mask that will inevitably fall.

Politics, my dear Mr. Edwards, is not the domain of tantrums, nor is it the playground of the reckless. It demands vision, responsibility, and, above all, an unwavering commitment to unity and progress. Instead of casting aspersions on Sikkim, I urge you to turn your attention to the unfulfilled promises and unmet needs of your own people.

In the end, Mr. Edwards is but an unpolished caricature of leadership, a shadow of what he aspires to be. His rhetoric grows stale, his theatrics tiresome, and his relevance fleeting. The people of Darjeeling deserve better than this half-baked leader with lofty ambitions and little substance.

And so, to the gracious people of Sikkim, I say: Sorry, Sikkim, forgive him, for he does not know what he says. Amen.

Neeraj Tamang Zimba,
MLA DARJEELING.

सौहार्द पुनर्स्थापना: सिक्किमप्रति अजय एडवर्ड्सको भ्रामक अभिव्यक्तिको लागि माफी l

दार्जीलिङको जनप्रतिनिधिको रूपमा, म ठूलो विनम्रता र गहिरो पछुतोका साथ सिक्किमका सम्माननीय र मनकारी जनतासँग माफी माग्न चाहन्छु। अजय एडवर्ड्सले दिएका हचुवा र गैरजिम्मेवार अभिव्यक्तिले हाम्रो साझा विरासतको गरिमालाई मात्र कलंक लगाएको छैन, तर छिमेकीका रूपमा हामीलाई जोड्ने सम्वेदनशील सम्बन्धप्रति उनको पूर्ण अज्ञानता पनि प्रकट गरेको छ। उनका गैरजिम्मेवार र तर्कहीन शब्दहरूले सिक्किम र दार्जीलिङबीच लामो समयदेखि रहेको सौहार्दता र आत्मीयतालाई गम्भीर चोट पुर्‍याएको छ।

सिक्किमलाई प्राकृतिक विपत्तिको दोष लगाउनु उनको अभिव्यक्ति जति साहसिक छ, त्यति नै हास्यास्पद पनि छ। राष्ट्रिय राजमार्ग १० जस्तो संवेदनशील सीमा क्षेत्रको जीवनरेखा अवरुद्ध गर्ने धम्की दिनु केवल लापरवाह मात्र होइन, घातक पनि हो। के उनले बुझ्दैनन् कि राजनीति आरोप लगाउने खेल होइन, बरु शासनका जटिल समस्याहरू समाधान गर्ने सम्मानित प्रयास हो?

यदि उहाँलाई साँच्चै नै यति ठूलो साहस छ भने, केही दिनअघि पश्चिम बंगालकी मुख्यमन्त्री ममता ब्यानर्जी दार्जीलिङ आउँदा उहाँको "दिदी"लाई अवरोध किन नगरे? जब उनको प्रिय "दिदी" चौरास्तामा मेला उद्घाटन गर्दै थिइन्, तब ती बाढीपीडितप्रतिको सहानुभूति र चासो कहाँ थियो? त्यो क्षणमा उहाँको साहस र तर्क किन हरायो?

अजय एडवर्ड्स आफूलाई नेता ठान्छन्, तर कूटनीति र शासनप्रतिको अज्ञानता मात्र उनले हरेकपल्ट देखाइरहेका छन्। नेताको जिम्मेवारी भनेको अरूको मामिलामा हस्तक्षेप गर्नु होइन, आफ्नो निर्वाचन क्षेत्रमा रहेका जनताको आवश्यकता पूरा गर्नु हो। सदर २, जहाँबाट उहाँ निर्वाचित हुनु भयो, त्यहाँ उहाँको पूर्ण बेवास्ताले चरम रूपमा निराशा मात्र जन्माएको छ।

र, उहाँको राजनीतिक यात्रालाई सम्झौं—उहाँले आफ्नो वार्डमा नगरपालिका चुनाव जित्न सक्नुभएन र बहुमतका साथ जितेको नगरपालिका पनि ६ महिनाभित्र गुमाउनुभयो। यस्तो विफलता केवल दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण मात्र होइन, बरु नेतृत्व गर्न नसक्ने गम्भीर अक्षमता हो। उहाँ अहिले चूर्ण भइसकेको आफ्नो गिलासको घरमा उभिएर आकाशमा ढुंगा फाल्दै किल्ला निर्माण गर्ने सपना देखिरहनुभएको छ।

उहाँका धर्मार्थ गतिविधिहरू, जुन विदेशबाट आउने मिशनरी सहयोगबाट सञ्चालित छन्, परोपकारभन्दा राजनीतिक स्वार्थ प्रवर्द्धन गर्न ज्यादा केन्द्रित देखिन्छन्। सामाजिक कार्यकर्ता र राजनीतिक नेताको दोहोरो परिचय केवल एउटा नाटक मात्र हो, जुन छिट्टै समाप्त हुनेछ।

राजनीति भनेको चिच्याउनु वा दोषारोपण गर्नु होइन। यो त परिणाम ल्याउने, एकता कायम गर्ने, र जिम्मेवारी पूरा गर्ने माध्यम हो। यसकारण, सिक्किममा अराजकता सिर्जना गर्ने सट्टा, म उहाँलाई सुझाव दिन्छु कि उहाँले आफ्नो क्षेत्रका जनताको अपूरा आशा र आवश्यकता पूरा गर्न ध्यान दिनुपर्छ।

अन्तमा, अजय एडवर्ड्स केवल नेतृत्वको अपरिपक्व चित्र हुन्, जसको अभिव्यक्तिहरू अहिले उखानजस्तै पुरानो भइसकेका छन्। दार्जीलिङका जनताले उहाँजस्तो अधपक्व र खोक्रो नेता भन्दा धेरै राम्रोको हकदार छन्।

र, अन्तमा सिक्किमका महानुभाव जनतासँग म भन्छु: "सरी, सिक्किम। उहाँलाई माफ गर्नुहोस्, किनकि उहाँलाई थाहा छैन उहाँ के भन्नुहुन्छ।
