Sikkim: Prem Singh Tamang 2.0 government to take oath on June 09
GANGTOK: A new Prem Singh Tamang-led government will take oath to govern the Northeast state of Sikkim on June 09 at the Paljor Stadium in Gangtok.
The oath taking ceremony will be held at the Paljor Stadium in Gangtok – the capital of Sikkim – is a bid to recreate the electoral success of Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM) in 2019.
“The oath-taking ceremony will be on June 09 at Paljor Stadium. Party workers and the public wanted it to be at Paljor and in an open space because we held it there in 2019,” said Sikkim chief minister Prem Singh Tamang-Golay.
He said: “First, I want to extend my congratulations to our Honourable PM Modi, respected Amit Shah, and all the BJP members—a big congratulations to them. I also want to congratulate the NDA, as the entire country wants the NDA to form the government.”
