UGRF to cultivate political consciousness among masses

KALIMPONG
7 Nov 2013
The United Gorkha Revolutionary Front, which has kept its political activities under leash after its armed movement for statehood fizzled out, has decided to launch a mission of cultivating political consciousness among the people.
Speaking to the media this afternoon, UGRF leader Rudra Acharya said the party will now concentrate on making the people politically aware. “As the people are the supreme force in a democracy, they should be politically conscious to protect their democratic rights. We want to bring about this awareness,” he said.
On queries as to why the UGRF has remained relatively inactive, Acharya said the party is functioning silently and the results would surface at the appropriate time. He added conspiracies prevail in hill politics at present and they pose potential threats to the UGRF.
Commenting on the political developments in the Darjeeling hills, the UGRF vice president said political parties are confusing the people by raising various issues and demands. He slammed them all saying, “People are confused by the current political scenario. Political parties are creating this confusion. The UGRF wants to eliminate all such confusions.”
Acharya further said leaders who were looked upon highly by the people have turned out to be hypocrites while claiming the UGRF is in the process of producing leaders from within the public.
Targeting GNLF chief Subash Ghising, he said, “There are talks about Ghising returning to the hills. The kids he addressed during 1986 have now become youths. People have witnessed his rule for 21 years and have understood he is not capable of providing proper leadership.”
Urging the GJM to launch progressive activities through the GTA, Acharya stated, “The GJM has reverted to the GTA chanting the slogans of development. If they are sincere towards developing the hills, let them construct a four storied complex at Hat Bazaar here,” adding such a structure with a parking lot would immensely benefit the people of Kalimpong.
