In 1977, Kazi Lhendup Dorjee (L. D. Kazi) who was the first Chief Minister of Sikkim and the president of Sikkim Pradesh Congress Committee (SPCC: Sikkim branch of Indian National Congress (INC)) defected from his party and established JNP Sikkim. The SPCC groups discontented with the attitude of L. D. Kazi established another political parties, Sikkim Congress (Revolutionary) (SCR) or Sikkim Prajatantra Congress (SPC). As the result, SPCC couldn’t send its candidate for 1979 Sikkim Legislative Assembly election.
