Speaking to reporters, Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang said, “On behalf of the entire people of Sikkim, I want to thank PM Modi wholeheartedly. He came here amidst a very busy schedule. The preparation done by our artists was very good.

I became emotional after seeing the concept of ‘One India, Best India’. We are doing rapid development work in collaboration with the Central Government. Our priority is focusing on taking the country forward keeping in mind the national security. Our full focus is on what Sikkim’s contribution should be in the resolution of a developed India.”

Chief Minister’s political secretary Bikash Basnet said, “Everyone is excited about PM Modi’s visit. His speech was very inspiring and nice as always. He loves the people of Sikkim very much.”

BJP Sikkim official Lalit Pokharel Sharma said, “Sikkim is not only peaceful, but has already been a symbol of ‘Best India’. The journey of 50 years from 1950 till now is a symbol of prosperity and upliftment. The speech given by PM Modi is the soulful spirit of Sikkim, which gives a beautiful introduction to the spirit of ‘One India, Best India’. We are moving forward with this in our hearts and minds.”

He said, “When we go across the country for employment or any work, we mingle there. Sikkim is the center of both peace and tourism. Sikkim is also a leader in border tourism. We represent India by becoming the symbol of Ashtalakshmi while living on the border of three countries. Today PM Modi has put this sentiment in front of the country, due to which we are proud. BJP always believes in the sentiment of nation-first.”

Expressing his happiness, a local artist said, “We were very excited about PM Modi’s visit. It was very nice that he appreciated our cultural presentation.”
