PREM SINGH TAMANG RANKED BEST-PERFORMING CM AMONG SMALL STATES

Sikkim Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang has been ranked as the best-performing Chief Minister among small states in the latest India Today Mood of the Nation (MOTN) poll, conducted in August 2025. The survey covered states with less than 10 Lok Sabha seats and placed Tamang ahead of his counterparts from Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, Meghalaya, and Mizoram.

According to the poll, 53.9 per cent of respondents in Sikkim expressed satisfaction with Tamang’s leadership. Although this marks a decline from 62 per cent in February 2025, he continues to lead by a wide margin. Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu secured the second position with 41.6 per cent, followed by Tripura’s Dr. Manik Saha with 40.4 per cent. Meghalaya’s Conrad Sangma received 38.6 per cent support, while Mizoram’s Lalduhoma stood at 38.4 per cent.

Reacting to the recognition, Tamang said the honour was not just a personal milestone but proof of the people’s trust and support. He expressed gratitude to the people of Sikkim, calling them the “true architects” of progress, and dedicated the achievement to their collective strength and determination. He also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Governor Om Prakash Mathur, and other leaders for their support.

The Mood of the Nation poll, started in 2001, is conducted twice a year around Republic Day and Independence Day.
