It is to be noted that BB Gurung (Goorong) was the Chief Minister of Sikkim for mere 13 days thus creating a record for the shortest term in the political history of Sikkim. He was the Chief Minister of Sikkim from May 11,1984 to May 24, 1984. For more information on BB Gurung click on the link from Information and Public Relations Department.
