DARJEELING, : The GJM has not disclosed whether it will contest in the upcoming Lok
Sabha election for Darjeeling seat but did urged its supporters to come out in
huge numbers for the “nomination” on April 1.
At a party
meeting today at Malidhura here, GJM president Bimal Gurung was heard requesting
people to assemble in large numbers on April 1.
“You must
take out time and come out that day to save your community and for your
guardian. You all have not taken any risk the way I have been fighting between
life and death, but I am not concerned about it. I am only concerned about my
community and the hills for which we should meet on April 1. For our nomination
we should make ready all the vehicles in the villages and town area,” said
Gurung at the party meeting.
“We should
give a good presentation that day with people coming not only from different
parts of the Hills but also from the Terai region,” said Gurung while
reiterating that they were going for “nominations” on April 1 and wanted all to
be ready.
However, Gurung
did not disclose whether the Morcha will field a candidate or support a
candidate from another party.
With BJP
candidate Raju Bista scheduled to file his nominations on April 1 also, speculations
are being made that the Morcha might support him.
However,
the recent development of the Morcha youth wing who proposed that Gurung
himself contest, cannot also be ruled out.
