  1. Sangay Khandu from Samtse and Rinzin Dorji From Punakha will not represent their people nor they represent their dzongkhag that i will gaurantee. Their voters are being betrayed by them. It is very simple if you raise a horse later it has to work for you the same thing they are being financed by DPT government to get proper qualification for them to contest in that area they have to fulfil DPT’s Desire. There presence in the house will drastically effect the smooth running of Apolitical house.

    DPT wants their people every where one day they will sponser people to contest in other parties and locall governments as well. DPT buys the peoples the good example is Sarpangs former NC and Punakha’s Namgay Penjore. When the head of the house is linked with ruling Government other members have less chances to correct and charge the Government.

  2. I do agree with above statement.

  3. JTY is not a Jesus and can’t be Mohammed, never Buddha, ever been Lord Krishna..

  4. What about PDP’s Kaka Tshering of Paro? Is he then going to always speak against the DPT government? I don’t think the NC elected members would play politic in NC discussions. It’s in fact a great appreciation to DPT for allowing them to contest for Nc though they were worthy candidates for the party.

  5. dear new NC sangay khandu, i heard many stuff about you having an attitude problem,being egoistic,arrogant and so on before the election.despite all those rumors, i voted for you after you presented urself well in the debate.Now that you have won, I hope you will keep up your words and represent our constituency well.Dont forget the shadows when you face the sun.The ex-NC never visited the constituency that voted him even once in 5 years.Thank god he dint contest for second term.my people were ready to spit on him if he cme for vote begging this time.anyway tashi delek and wish you all the best!
