BGP to start campaigning for Mahendra Lama

The Bharatia Gorkha Parisangh (BGP), which has already declared support to independent candidate Dr. Mahendra P Lama for the general elections, is all set to start campaigning for him.

Mirik regional BGP secretary NS Gadal said the organisation is chalking out strategies and will soon launch a massive campaign throughout the Darjeeling constituency.  Gadal said the BGP has been concentrating on campaigning to generate awareness among the people on the state of Gorkhaland. He added it is also focusing on expanding the organisation.

The BGP leader also said the party has extended its support to Dr Lama in view of the fact that he is an eligible candidate and that if he is sent to Parliament, he would be able to do a lot for the Gorkha community. Stating Dr Lama is a son-of-the-soil, Gadal said supporting him is the need of the times despite him being an independent candidate.(EOI)
