Sikkim CM P S Tamang contesting from two seats, including old bastion Soreng-Chakung
Tuesday, 9 April 2024 Sikkim chief minister and SKM leader Prem Singh Tamang is now running for two assembly seats - Soreng-Chakung and Rhenock, shifting from his previous win in the Poklok-Kamrang constituency in 2019. Tamang is counting on his government's welfare initiatives, such as providing free LPG cylinders to all households every quarter, offering a yearly cash transfer of Rs 40,000 to women heading families through the 'Aamaa Yojana'.
As Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh election results reaffirmed BJP and SKM's grip, a larger question looms - the racial divide plaguing the Northeast. We discussed this pressing issue with Hon. Advocate Hriata Chhangte, exploring the roots of discrimination based on language and complexion. He shed light on the deep-seated biases and proposed measures to bridge the great divide. With diverse communities calling the region home, can the new governments take concrete steps to foster inclusivity and harmony? The Northeast eagerly awaits a resolution to this long-standing challenge.

As BJP stampedes in Arunachal leading in 47/60 seats as CM Khandu extends reign. In Sikkim, the ruling SKM comfortably retains power ahead in 31/32 constituencies, and the opposition SDF loses ground.
But amid these state battles, have India's mainstream parties given the Northeast a short shrift in national Lok Sabha polls?
In our special broadcast, we discuss this burning issue with Mr. Amit Kumar of EastMojo and veteran journalist Gautam Mukherjee - Why is the Northeast often ignored and undermined when it comes to fierce Lok Sabha electoral contests and inclusive participation?
Tune in for comprehensive results coverage and this critical debate on the Seven Sisters' role in India's biggest democratic exercise.
