Bedu Singh Pant who won the assembly seats from Temi Namphing constituency is another icon of the SKM party. He has years of experience and is well-placed to bring in posi-tive changes in Sikkim. The entire tourism fraternity of the state has welcomed him as the new tourism minister. The mandate that has gone in favour of the SKM requires him to succeed as the tourism minister as the sector is a key sector for the economy of this small Himalayan state.

Another legislator, Bishnu Sharma, MLA from Rhenock constituency who is a senior member of the SKM party and has a vision to transform his constituency into an agro-organic region with tourism linkage. Sikkim has earned fame as the first organic
state in the country. His constituency has cultivable lands and prospects to grow organic
fruits and vegetables which are aided by a favourable climate. He wants to bring
socio-economic developments in his constituency by means of adopting organic practices. Rhenock has remained as one of the most neglected and discarded constituency in the entire state and Sharma’s focus may now change its fortune.
