Sikkim CM’s wife Krishna Kumari Rai resigns as MLA a day after taking oath
GANGTOK: Krishna Kumari Rai, newly elected as MLA from the Namchi-Singhithang constituency in Sikkim and wife of chief minister Prem Singh Tamang-Golay, resigned from her position on Thursday (June 13), just a day after being sworn in.
The exact reason for her unexpected decision remains undisclosed at this time.
Rai emerged victorious in the recent assembly elections, securing a win over Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) candidate Bimal Rai.
Confirming the resignation, Sikkim legislative assembly secretary Lalit Kumar Gurung stated that Speaker MN Sherpa has accepted Krishna Kumari Rai's resignation.
As of now, neither Rai nor leaders from the ruling Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM) have provided any official statement or comment regarding this development.
