Thereupon he became after an interim presidential rule ( President's rule ) on October 18, 1979 as the successor of Kazi Lhendup Dorji Khangsarpa for the first time Chief Minister of Sikkim . In 1981 the SJP merged with the Indian National Congress and formed the Sikkim Pradesh Congress (SPC). In 1984 he dissolved the SJP and was then replaced as Chief Minister by Bhim Bahadur Gurung of the INC on May 11, 1984 , before a presidential government again existed between May 25, 1984 and March 7, 1985.

In the general election on December 24, 27 and 28, 1984 , Bhandari was elected as a non-party member of the eighth Lok Sabha , the lower house of the Indian parliament .

After he lost a vote of no confidence , he resigned as Chief Minister on June 16, 1994 and was replaced on June 17, 1994 by his fellow party member Sanchaman Limboo . In the subsequent elections in December 1994, the SSP received only 60,851 votes (35.08 percent) and could only provide ten of the 32 members of the Legislative Assembly . The strongest force was now the Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF), which received 72,856 votes (42 percent) and received 19 seats.
