DARJEELING: Two days after CM Mamata Banerjee gave GJM
a walkover in GTA elections, GJM president Bimal Gurung said if the
state government delayed in releasing funds for development work, he
will be forced to reject the GTA. He said this at 7th Mile in Kalimpong
while campaigning for Kaizm Tsering Lepcha from the Chibo-Tashiding constituency.
"There is a lot of development work that needs to be taken up and completed. But for this we will need funds. If the state government fails to deliver its promise and delays release of funds that could hamper development work, then I will not hesitate to reject the GTA agreement," said the GJM chief.
Taking a dig at the candidates fielded by the Trinamool for the election, the GJM president said, "They (TMC candidates) did not deserve to be fielded in the election. All of them were opportunists and selfish," he said.
Gurung also advised the future GTA Sabha members to give priority to people's problems. "You must be humble and work diligently. People should be able to meet you in your office and get their work done," he said.
