    CHAPTER-S EMERGENCE AND EVOLUTION OF SIKKIM DEMOCRATIC FRONT AS A POLITICAL PARTY CHAPTER 5 Emergence and Evolution of Sikkim Democratic Front as a Political Party 1. Dissention within Sikkim Sangram Parishad It has already been discussed in the last part of the previous chapter about the feud between Chamling and Bhandari and the former's expulsion from the party on the ground of ideological differences. In this chapter, we will try to assess the reason behind the dissention and the emergence of a new state political outfit, Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) and its role in the state politics. Pawan Chamling, a son of a farmer from Yangang, south Sikkim had first started his political career as the President of his village Yangang Gram Panchayat Unit in 1982 and became an MLA of Damthang Constituency in 1985. He slowly climbed up the political ladder to become a Cabinet Minister in SSP Government in 1989 and was the Minister- in-charge for Industries, Printing and Information & Public Relations. (Commemorative issue:25 years of Statehood) On his days as the SSP minister for two and half years, there started growing a discord on principles and practices of politics between him and the then Chief Minister Nar Bahadur Bhandari. The differences between him and the leadership of the SSP were neither petty nor personal. There were substantial differences on issues of principle and ideology. (B B Gurung) 2012) (Bali) 2003) It was alleged that during Bhandari's rule, he ruled as a monarch without a crown. The fundamental rights of speech and expression granted by the constitution to its citizens became CHAPTER 5 : Emergence and Evolution of Sikkim Democratic Front as a Political Party imprisoned within the bounds of Mintokgang.

    CHAPTER-4 STATE PARTY DOMINANCE: CASE OF SIKKIM SANGRAM PARIS HAD CHAPTER 4 State Party Dominance: Case of Sikkim Sangram Parishad 1. Merger of Sikkim Janata Parishad Immediately after the assumption of office on 18/10/1979, Bhandari found Sikkim politically, economically and socially backward. There was no planning process for rapid development of Sikkim and there was no communal harmony. His government first took steps to meet the basic needs of the general public and refurbished the entire administrative set up in accordance with the change needed (Nar Bahadur Bhandari, 2011). The Parliamentary election took place in Sikkim on the 3rd January, 1980. It was the first such election in Sikkim. In 1977 there was no election, since the candidate was returned uncontested. The bye-election to Sikkim Legislative Assembly (SLA) for Khamdong and Chakung was also held along with Sikkim Parliamentary constituency election in 1980. (Sengupta N. , State Government and Politics: Sikkim. , 1985, p. 113) Sikkim J anata Parishad won all the seats and at the centre, Congress (I) returned to power with overwhelming majority. (ECI, Statistical Report on the Elections to the Lok Sabha, 1980) Politics in Sikkim assumed an interesting shape after the change in leadership at the centre. All the major political parties were in the rat race over the issue of getting recognition of the Congress (!).Whereas the opposition parties- SPC, a section of SCR as well as Janata Party wanted to join hands and come to power by getting support of Congress(I).The ruling party, SJP wanted Centre's CHAPTER 4 : State Party Dominance : Case of Sikkim Sang ram Parishad recognition to secure its power position and ultimately it was recognized by the Central leadership in July 1981.Thus shedding its 'separate identity of State Party' the SJP merged itself with the Congress (I) (Sengupta N.

Kazi Lhendup Dorjee Khangsarpa was born in the year 1904 at Pakyong, East Sikkim, while Col. Younghusband led the British Mission to Tibet and changed the course of History of Sikkim. In fact, in his childhood, Kazi Lhendup Dorjee Khangsarpa entered the spiritual life i.e., when he was 6 years old. He was educated as a monk (Lama - Buddhabikshu) at Rumtek Monastery of East Sikkim, situated very near to capital Gangtok. He was a disciple and student of his own uncle Tshufuk Lama Rabdon Dorji - the Head Lama of Rumtek Monastery. The then Maharaja o f Sikkim, Sikyong Tulku - during his visit to Rumtek Monastery showed a great liking and was attracted by the cute and young monk Lhendup, took him to Gangtok and put him in a Tibetan School. In his 16^*’ year Lhendup Dorjee returned to Rumtek Monastery to undergo two years rigorous training in Lamaism of Mahayana-Buddhism (Lamaism is a combination of both Tantrayana and Mantrayana). Finally, he succeeded in his teen age to Lama Ugen Tenzing to preach as Head Lama of Rumtek Monastery for about eight years. Leaving monastic life young Kazi had joined ‘Young Men’s Buddhist Association’ founded by his brother Kazi Phag Tshering in Darjeeling.

    Regionalism and Regional Parties MODULE - 4

    Regionalism and Regional Parties MODULE - 4 20 REGIONALISM AND Notes REGIONAL PARTIES One of the notable features of the Indian Party System is the presence of a large number of regional parties. By regional party we mean a party which generally operates within a limited geographical area and its activities are confined only to a single or handful of states. Further as compared to the broad ranging diverse interests of national parties, the regional parties represent the interest of a particular area. In simple words, regional parties differ from All India parties both in terms of their outlook as well as the interests they pursue. Their activities are focused on specific issues concerning the region and they operate within the limited area. They merely seek to capture power at the state or regional level and do not aspire to control the national government. It is noteworthy that in India, the number of regional parties is much larger than the national parties and some of the States are being ruled by the regional parties, viz., Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Assam, Jammu & Kashmir etc. Objectives After studying this lesson, you will be able to l analyse the factors responsible for the growth of regionalism; l determine the factors instrumental for the growth of regional parties; l create awareness about the role of regional parties; l distinguish a regional party from a national party. 20.1 What is Regionalism The term ‘regionalism’ has two connotations. In the negative sense, it implies excessive attachment to one’s region is preference to the country or the state.

(b) Over dominance of certain section of people on the masses. (c) Developed upperhand by the Business Community, which were the means of miniting wealth to the high level politicians and higher bureaucracy. (d) Inter-State migration to Sikkim and migration of Nepalese Nationals from Nepal accelerated (as there is no passport system to check); (e) Denouncement of Other Backward Class (OBC) Policy of the Country . (1984)^ Further, rampant corruption, Centralized administration, not being able to lead the team and very sensitive to handle the extension and implementation of Central Income Tax in the State which was a very burning issue during that period^. Moreover,, it seems that the SSP bagging 32 out of 32 seats in the 1989 Assembly election was a result of series of bloody campaigns. This was the most violently fought election in Sikkim’s electoral history and more gruesome than the State-wide agitation of 1973 and the Congress (I) suffered in the torture. * Even a bureaucrat of Direct Indian Administrative Service had to undergo ordeals and transferral. The brute strength of one hundred percent majority in the Assembly became the ultimate weakness because there was conspicuous absence of constructive opposition that is an essential prerequisite of a vibrant democracy. This made Bhandari to grow arrogant and ended up becoming a dictator like Suddam Hussain.
