Siliguri/Darjeeling,PTI: The Gorkha Janamukti
Morcha (GJM) president Binay Tamang on Sunday alleged that Bimal Gurung
had misled common people in the name of Gorkhaland movement.
Mr Tamag made the allegation while addressing a public meeting in
Sukna in Darjeeling district. Mr Tamang alleged that funds intended for
public benefits were misused by Gurung and his associates. He said his
main objective is development of the Darjeeling hills.
The emphasis will be on water, health and road development, he said.
Sikkim being a separate state should not interfere in the politics of
the Darjeeling hills, he said. “We do not want them to interfere in our
affairs. We want to maintain a friendly relationship,” he said.
He also lashed out at the central government saying that the Centre
has not given a single penny apart from giving Rs 600 crore during the
formation of the GTA.
Before concluding his speech, Tamang said that peace has returned in the Hills and tourists have started visiting.
