Gangtok, Nov 23: Former Indian footballer-turned-politician Bhaichung Bhutia has aligned himself with the ‘Save Sikkim’ mission, led by former Chief Minister Pawan Chamling and his Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) party. This move comes as a significant development in Sikkim’s political landscape, as Bhutia’s Hamro Sikkim party joins forces with the ‘Save Sikkim’ campaign.
Pawan Chamling, the leader of the ‘Save Sikkim’ mission, has been critical of the current government, alleging corruption and a lack of focus on the welfare of the Sikkimese people. Chamling asserts that the present administration, led by Chief Minister PS Tamang and the Sikkim Krantikari Morcha party, is favoring a select group of non-Sikkimese contractors at the expense of the state’s interests.

During a recent event, Bhaichung Bhutia publicly displayed his support for the ‘Save Sikkim’ cause by holding the SDF flag, symbolizing the merger of his Hamro Sikkim party with the SDF led by Pawan Chamling. This strategic alliance aims to unite political forces in Sikkim to counter what they perceive as a threat to the state’s well-being under the current leadership.
The ‘Save Sikkim’ mission has been framed as a response to what the SDF sees as a corrupt administration that requires intervention to safeguard the interests of the people. Pawan Chamling, a prominent political figure in Sikkim, is leveraging his experience and influence to rally support against the perceived shortcomings of the current government.
As the political landscape in Sikkim undergoes this shift with Bhaichung Bhutia’s participation, the ‘Save Sikkim’ mission gains momentum. The coming together of these political forces signals a unified effort to address concerns about governance, corruption, and the alleged favoritism towards non-Sikkimese contractors. The merger of parties under the common banner of the ‘Save Sikkim’ campaign sets the stage for intensified political dynamics in the region.
