Telangana effect: Darjeeling stares at govt-GJM face-off over Gorkhaland
  • 5 years ago
India News: With the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) resuming agitation to press for a separate Gorkhaland, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee today ruled out any possibility of bifurcation of the state, slamming the Centre for "encouraging separatists" with Telangana decision.

"Darjeeling's brothers and sisters are our brothers and sisters. We were united, we are united and we will remain united. It is the Centre, which is encouraging separatists. I am shocked that for mere political purpose they are doing all this," Banerjee said.

Meanwhile, Bimal Gurung, president of the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) has resigned as chief executive of the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) to enable himself to lead the agitation for Gorkhaland. While Banerjee said, the government has accepted the resignation of Gurung, she added, "We will not dissolve GTA."
