ABGL to hold meeting today in Darjeeling

The meeting is expected to be an exclusive one to decide the future course of action of the party in connection with the forthcoming assembly poll. ABGL is a constituent member of the Democratic Front, an anti-GJM forum of political parties in the hills. However, the GJM, the major political party of Darjeeling is still continuing its domination in the hill politics since its inception in 2007. ABGL's president Madan Tamang was killed under the broad day light on 21st May, 2010 in the heart of the hill town Darjeeling while being ready to address the mass. The ABGL has alleged GJM's hand behind the murder. Though the central bureau of investigation has also started its enquiry into the case, yet, no concrete result has been surfaced till now. In such a juncture, the possibility of joining hands by the ABGL with GJM as being speculated by a section of people is not likely to be materialised. If the ABGL decides to contest the forthcoming assembly poll in the state, then the situation may be very interesting one as the CPRM, known as second largest political outfit in Darjeeling, would be in an awkward position. It is mentioned that CPRM is one of the largest constituent party of Democratic Front which is oppossed to the GJM and this party (CPRM) has made a precedent not to go to the electoral politics till the dream of Gorkhaland is fulfilled. In such situation, what this party would choose to opt for would become a very interesting point in future.
