BJP’s Manifesto for Sikkim Assembly Elections Released by J P Nadda: In a bid to woo voters ahead of the upcoming Sikkim Assembly elections, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president JP Nadda recently revealed the party’s manifesto in Gangtok. Titled “Modi Ki Guarantee–Viksit Bharat Viksit Sikkim,” the manifesto outlines the party’s vision for the state’s development.
Taking a swipe at the Congress, Nadda criticized previous governments for their approach of isolation and neglect towards the people. He emphasized Prime Minister Modi’s mantra of “Look East, Act East, Act Fast and Act First,” highlighting a shift in governance philosophy.
The manifesto promises several developmental initiatives, including the establishment of an Indian Institute of Management, a National Institute of Design, and an Institute of Hotel Management in Sikkim. These initiatives aim to empower the youth and bolster the tourism sector in the state.

Nadda also touted India’s economic progress under PM Modi’s leadership, citing the country’s rise from the 11th largest economy to the 5th largest. He projected that India would become the third-largest economy globally under Modi’s continued leadership.
Highlighting economic achievements, Nadda noted India’s advancements in steel manufacturing and automobile markets, surpassing countries like Japan. He also mentioned the growth of the mobile industry, with more phones being labeled ‘Made in India.’
The Sikkim Assembly elections are scheduled to coincide with the first phase of the Lok Sabha elections on April 19. With 32 assembly seats and one parliamentary constituency, parties are gearing up for a competitive electoral battle.
In the previous Lok Sabha polls, the Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM) secured the lone parliamentary seat, while the Sikkim Democratic Front won 15 out of 32 assembly seats. As the political landscape heats up, parties are vying to secure voter confidence with their promises of development and progress.
