Why should the people vote for you?

My experience and knowledge in law makes me a suitable candidate for the NC. I am also offering a choice to the people.

It is not enough for people with interest to serve but capable individuals have to contest to uphold the democracy and provide choice to people.

Sarpang being a commercial hub and witnessing rapid development, security is important for which I’ll review laws to uphold the sovereignty of the country.

As I have studied laws and policies of other countries, I will contribute to improve our laws and strengthen them.  I am prepared and mature enough to serve as the NC member from Sarpang.

While voting, I plead people to keep aside the differences and not to vote with love and compassion but for someone who will fulfil His Majesty’s thoughts and  to serve the country.

Why should the people vote for you?

As a former civil servant and a private sector employee in Gelephu, I have gained tremendous work experience and understanding of the country’s overall development process.

In addition, being based in Sarpang has made me understand the pressing needs of the general public.

At a national level, I shall endeavour to address macro socio-economic issues such as youth unemployment, rural-urban migration and rising national debt.

I will closely work with national assembly members in resolving these challenges.

Capitalizing on Sarpang’s strength will be the top-most goal at Constitutional front. Given Sarpang’s proximity both internally and externally, agricultural potential and the landscape which best suits infrastructural development, I shall strive harder to ensure continued inclusive growth in Sarpang so that the spiral benefits are felt and shared by the state and other neighbouring dzongkhags.
