BJP Sikkim Demands Official Action on SGAY Re-verification.
- Gangtok: 29th Jan:Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Sikkim unit led by Spokesperson Sangay Gyatso Bhutia visited the Rural Development Department, seeking urgent clarification and written confirmation regarding the promised re-verification of the Sikkim Garib Awas Yojana (SGAY) allotment orders.
Despite high-level discussions held in December 2025 and specific assurances citing the intervention of the Chief Minister, the party notes with concern that no visible progress has been made to ensure a merit-based distribution of housing units.
In the meeting with the official of the Rural Development department today the BJP stated that today’s visit was the follow up of the meetings held with the RDD on December 5th and December 10th, 2025, the BJP Sikkim unit highlighted three primary areas of concern:
• Re-verification: No official steps have been taken to begin the audit of allotment orders, despite previous departmental assurances.
• Communication Gap: The absence of a formal circular or public notice has left many rightful beneficiaries in a state of uncertainty.
• Pending Offical Confirmation: The amicable solution reached between the RDD and the BJP as submitted to the department vide Ref no: 141/BJPSK/2025
The BJP Sikkim unit stands firm on the consensus reached during previous deliberations, where it was agreed, that, excluded but eligible citizens would be reconsidered for the scheme.
We are seeking a clear roadmap and a written directive from the Department. BJP believes thatp public welfare schemes like SGAY must be beyond political patronage. We owe it to the people of Sikkim to ensure these houses are allotted based on genuine need and merit.
The BJP has requested the Rural Development Department to:
1. Provide written confirmation of the agreements reached during the December 5th meeting.
2. Issue a clear timeline for the re-verification process.
3. Release official circulars to prevent public confusion regarding the validity of current orders.
4. Make public the list of SGAY beneficiaries, to make it more transparent.
‘The BJP Sikkim unit remains committed to monitoring the situation closely to ensure that no deserving citizen is deprived of their right to dignified housing. We will always be the voice of the voiceless,’said ,Sangay Gyatso Bhutia ,Spokesperson.
