BJP recruits new families from Arithang constituency, party leaders say it strengthens grassroots work

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders in Sikkim said that 23 families from the Arithang constituency formally joined the party during a joining programme held in Gangtok. The event was attended by senior BJP functionaries and party workers, who welcomed the new members into the BJP’s cadre.

The programme was graced by BJP Sikkim president D R Thapa and general secretary Arjun Rai, along with other senior leaders and karyakartas. Party officials said the joining reflects an effort to expand the party’s grassroots network across the state.

Party leaders highlight “Seva Hi Sangathan”

Addressing the gathering, Thapa spoke about BJP’s ideology and its guiding principle of “Seva Hi Sangathan.” He asked the newly joined families to focus on selfless public service and to reach out to people in their area. Thapa said they should also create awareness about welfare and developmental initiatives associated with the Narendra Modi government.

The BJP Sikkim president also stressed discipline, commitment and unity as key to strengthening the party at every level. He described BJP as a cadre-based organization in which dedicated workers, in his words, get opportunities to take on responsibilities and contribute to nation-building.

Support base “rising” across Sikkim

Thapa added that the BJP’s rising support base in Sikkim shows growing public trust in the party’s leadership and policies. He said BJP believes it delivers on promises through transparent governance, inclusive development and people-centric welfare measures, and he linked the party’s outreach to the broader vision of Viksit Bharat.

Party leaders said the new members were welcomed as part of the BJP’s organisational push to strengthen its presence across Sikkim. They encouraged the joiners to work with sincerity and integrity while following the party’s values and discipline.
