Kalimpong: Suva Pradhan, the chairman of Kalimpong
municipality, on Tuesday said he was confident that he will garner
adequate support to defeat the no-confidence motion that the rebel
leaders of the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha have threatened to bring against
him.
On Saturday, Anit Thapa had paraded 15 councillors,
including two from the Jana Andolan Party, and claimed that they had
shifted their allegiance to his faction. Thapa also said these
councillors would table a no-confidence motion against the chairman
after November 30.
"I have 100 per cent chances of defeating the
no-confidence motion. There are last minute strategies that I cannot
spill out to the media, but I am confident," Pradhan asserted.

Sherpa, JAP spokesperson, said: "We are yet to exercise our minds on
the no-confidence motion. As and when time comes, we will discuss and
decide. Whatever decision our party takes, it will be in the interest of
the people."
The JAP denied defection of its councillors to the Binay-Anit lobby and
said they remain committed to the party and its ideals. "The are rumours
about defection of our two councillors because of their meeting with
Thapa on Saturday.
