KALIMPONG
7 Nov 2013
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.
