BJP won’t get even 500 votes if it fights Sikkim assembly polls alone: Party MLA
PTI, Aug 29, 2023, 11:52 AM IST
Batting for a pre-poll alliance with the ruling SKM in next year’s assembly elections in Sikkim, Gangtok’s BJP MLA Y T Lepcha has claimed that the saffron party “will not be able to secure even 500 votes” if it contests the polls alone.
Lepcha sounded a discordant note with the state BJP leadership, which has stated that the party was not satisfied with alliance partner Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM), headed by Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang, popularly known as P S Golay, and may consider fighting the assembly polls alone.
“The BJP’s chances of winning any seat in the assembly polls in Sikkim due in 2024 is minimal without a tie-up with the SKM,” he told reporters on Monday.
