Despite of Kalimpong being unaffected by the All India Bandh, the Communist Party of Revolutionary Marxists (CPRM) has thanked all those who have supported the Bandh. The Party Spokesperson, Mohan Poudyal said that the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) who has mastered the art of conducting Bandhs since 2007 did not support this imperative Bandh because the price hike as they are least concerned about the price hike. Paying additional Rs 5 in diesel prices does not make any difference to them as they have accumulated enough money through the funds of Aila relief fund and Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council (DGHC), alleged Poudyal. The people favoured the Bandh however, they could do nothing as Morcha was against it, he added.The CPRM Kalimpong regional committee, President, Kishore Pradhan said that GJM is anti people’s party as they are against the development. “To make our appeal unsuccessful, the GJM did not declare any Bandhs”, he charged. He also complained about the GJM Chief Bimal Gurung not being amidst its people during their time of need. “A work of a leader is to take care of its people. Any leader going against the wishes of the people shall later repent”, he added. Lastly, Pradhan recommending GJM not to support anti people decisions added that GJM has been working just for their political interests.
