DDUDF
apex committee member R Moktan is astonished at GNLF chief Subash
Ghising’s call to support TMC in the upcoming 16th general elections.
Disapproving Ghising’s decision, Moktan said, “For what reasons has the
person, who coined the term Gorkhaland, joined hands with the party
against the statehood agenda?” Moktan wondered in dismay. Stating that
BJP candidate SS Ahluwalia and TMC candidate Bhaichung Bhutia do not
aspire for Gorkhaland, Moktan stressed the people of the Dooars are
instead more concerned about the agenda.
He said honouring the people’s aspiration the DDUDF has placed the demand for statehood as its primary agenda in the election manifesto. He urged people to ponder over the matter properly before casting their valuable votes. Moktan expressed doubts that the alliance between TMC and GNLF might be to replace the GTA by the DGHC and also decried the alliance saying it is “beneficial for hill people from no single angle”.
