A day after West Bengal Chief Minister
Mamata Banerjee announced the name of Harka Bahadur Chhetri as the
party's candidate from the Kalimpong assembly constituency, the GJM on
Saturday said this showed Chhetri was hobnobbing with a party opposed to
Gorkhaland demand of the hill people.
“This proves that Chhetri, who has refused to take a stand on the
statehood demand, is siding with a party that is opposed to the
Gorkhaland demand, GJM Assistant Secretary Binay Tamang told a press
conference after the announcement was telecast in news channels.
Tamang further described Chhetri's JAP as the B team of the TMC. In
another twist to the developments after the announcement, senior JAP
leader Amar Lama wondered, “How can a political party announce the name
of the President of another party (Chhetri) as its candidate?(sns)
