BJP president Amit Shah has invited the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha to
attend a meeting of the National Democratic Alliance in New Delhi
tomorrow, providing solace to the hill party at a time it is cornered by
rivals on Gorkhaland issue.
Morcha president Bimal Gurung and assistant general secretary Binay
Tamang will represent the Morcha at the meeting which will be attended
by Prime Minister Narendra Modi also.
Although Morcha general secretary Roshan Giri had
already reached Delhi to take part in the session, he left for the
hills following the demise of his father. slamming tew upped the ante to
lambast the Morcha on the statehood issue, our demand for a separate
state of, Amit Shah, , where the issue should actually be raised."
Chhetri was here to attend a meeting to condole the death of Col
(retd) D.K. Rai who had been seriously injured in a lathi-charge on an
ex-serviceman rally in Siliguri on April 9, 2008. Rai had breathed his
last on March 29.
The JAP said it would not forge an alliance in the coming civic elections.
"We are for our regional sentiment (statehood issue) and we know how
to work for it and take it to the right place at the right time.... In
the civic elections, we will fight alone," said Chhetri.
During the last Assembly elections, the JAP had a tie-up with
Trinamul and the GNLF. The GNLF will make its stand clear after the
election notification is issued.(TT)
