GJM not worried over TMC's rise in strength in Darjeeling
"They are political renegades. The ruling party will not become stronger by inducting turncoats," Chhetri said about the joining of 1,000 political members, including three former Gorkha National Liberation Front (GNLF) councillors and All India Gorkha League (AIGL) and GJM leaders, in the TMC on Jun 11 in the presence of North Bengal Development Minister Goutam Deb. "However, everyone has a right to join any political party in a functioning democracy," he added. On the Shyamal Sen committee report, he said that his party has already rejected it and his party would meet Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Jun 16 in Kolkata on the issue.
