Extracted from CM's Facebook Page I attended the Gorkha Rashtriya Sanghoshti along with Shri Bimal Gurung, GTA Chief Executive, Shri RP Sharma, MP Tezpur, Assam and Shri PD Rai, MP Sikkim at Gorkha Rangmanch Bhawan, Darjeeling. At this national level meet, discussions and deliberations were held to further strengthen the demand for grant of Tribal status to the Nepali Speaking Gorkha community of India.

No doubt i am happy for the success of our CM and i do appreciate that the state of Sikkim have changed for better under his leadership but is it necessary (as an employee) that i should personally wish him at his home/office. I was latter again told if i do not go .....i would be noticed for this....!!!
