Sikkim Chief Minister and SKM supremo Prem Singh Tamang is contesting from two Assembly seats — Soreng-Chakung and Rhenock — instead of Poklok-Kamrang constituency which he won in 2019.
Elections to the 32-member Sikkim Assembly and the lone Lok Sabha seat in the Himalayan state will be held on April 19.
Mr. Tamang is banking on welfare measures of his government like free LPG cylinder to all households every quarter, Rs 40,000 annual cash transfer to the women head of family under 'Aamaa Yojana', extra increment to indigenous people in state government service for raising an additional child, an assistant to take care of infants for one year and regularisation of service of 27,000 temporary government employees among others to win the elections.
