Supporters forsaking Morcha for TMC in Kalimpong

KALIMPONG

23 Oct 2013

The Gorkha Janmukti Morcha may have said it will continue with its agitation for statehood even as it runs the GTA, but party supporters are continuing to quit ranks in favour of the Trinamool Congress. They have said the decision of the GJM keep the GTA alive is the main reason for their leaving the party. About 40 GJM supporters from Kalimpong today joined the Hill TMC and they included Teesta unit branch secretary Hari Timsina. Hill TMC leaders Pravin Rahpal, Nanita Gautam and Chewang Bhutia were present to welcome them into the party fold.
