Sushma Swaraj likely to attend GJM public meeting in Kalimpong

The Gorkha Janmukti Morcha is set to organise a public meeting on Thursday here as part of its election campaign. GJM Kalimpong branch secretary Kumar Chamling said BJP candidate SS Ahluwalia and GJM chief Bimal Gurung will attend the meeting while leaders from both the parties will also be present. Chamling further said BJP heavyweight leader Sushma Swaraj is also likely to be present although this has not been confirmed yet.
Speaking to media persons, Chamling ridiculed independent candidate Mahendra P Lama for the condition the latter had placed in exchange of his support to Ahluwalia. “The BJP has clearly stated it favours formation of smaller states,” said Chamling. “The party has assured to fulfill the long-standing demand of the Gorkhas. I believe Dr. Lama knows what this demand of the Gorkhas is!”(EOIC)
