There were rumors in the past that Lama had brokered a secret meeting between SKM chief PS Golay and a senior BJP leader to solicit contributions and financial support for the regional party, although it couldn’t be independently verified. The meeting had allegedly taken place in New Delhi. It was alleged that the SKM was looking for a ‘sell off’ in return for ‘solid backing’.
The sources had also alleged that the BJP wanted the regional party to become a proxy for them in the state, while Lama would function as SKM’s ideologue. It was alleged that it was in this meeting that a strategy to impose President’s rule in Sikkim prior to polls was discussed, as part of their game plan to dislodge the ruling SDF government.
