Dashai gift for government employees, DA increases by 4 percent: CM Tamang.

One Rank One Pension to be implemented soon

Gangtok, Sept 15:

Sikkim Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang on September 15 announced a substantial increase in Dearness Allowance (DA) from 38 per cent to 42 per cent. This hike is set to come into effect from January 2023. CM Tamang made this announcement during a mass joining event at Ravangla in the Namchi district.

Earlier on September 11 , Sikkim Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang announced that an old pension scheme will be implemented in the state. Tamang said that the committee has submitted its report to the government. He further said that One Family One Job(OFOJ) will be regularised soon. CM also said the One Rank One Pension scheme will also be implemented soon wherein a retired officer from 1994 will get as much DA as a retired officer from 2023 in the same rank.

Golay refused to criticise opposition parties at the SKM party event, claiming, "Don't need to criticise opposition to win all 32 Assembly seats in Sikkim for 2024 elections. Every opposition leader is weaker than me, so why criticise them, when it is certain that we will win all 32 Assembly seats in Sikkim without even criticising opposition. When the previous government had all the power despite that we won the majority of the votes in 17 constituencies in 2019. Now, we have the government and the machinery, so we are certain to win all 32 seats".

However, Golay refused to name anyone as a party candidate just yet, claiming the party symbol of the Table lamp to be the only candidate for every constituency of the State. He cited that declaring a candidate now will create groupism against his principle of inclusive politics involving everyone irrespective of party affiliation.

Without naming Bhaichung Bhutia, CM Prem Singh Tamang Golay criticised Bhutia stating, "Doesn't matter who joins where or where they may have contested before, they were opposition in 2019, they will be opposition in 2024. He is eying at Barfung constituency for a ticket, but he is a failed politician in two states. He has joined hands with someone (Pawan Chamling) who criticized him the most and he has declared him as the most corrupt in the past. He was not with us in 2019".
