Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM) president and state chief minister P. S. Tamang (Golay) on Monday might have shot himself in his foot by suggesting it was his party workers who had been reaping the benefits of his one-and-a-half-year old government.
Addressing SKM’s “Rolu Divas” programme in South Sikkim, Golay had his foot-in-the-mouth moment while urging SKM workers to be patient and keep their faith in the party and government.
“Today, who are supplying school uniforms? It is SKM workers. Who is supplying books? It’s our SKM workers. And, who is supplying copies? SKM workers,” he said, citing some other examples where his party workers have benefited.
