Nagrakata: In a blunt message to the Gorkha Janamukti Morcha demand, Chief
Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday ruled any division of West Bengal.
"There will be no division of Bengal. Darjeeling is not outside West
Bengal. Dooars is not outside West Bengal," Banerjee said while
launching the campaign in North Bengal for next year's panchayat
elections.
"People living in the plains and hill areas will stay together,"
the chief minister apparently said this referring to GJM leaders in
Darjeeling who have renewed their demand for inclusion of Terai and
Dooars in the jurisdiction of the new hill council, Gorkha Territorial
Administration..
Banerjee was on the second day of her visit to North Bengal to
make an on-the-spot study of the implementation of state government
projects.
