Commenting on the BJP’s purported proposal to field party spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy from Darjeeling constituency, Rai said, “After the President stamps his seal and signature on Telangana; the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha will be appealing to the Congress and BJP to support its candidate. The GJM should instead support independent candidate Dr. Mahendra P Lama in the elections.”
He added the DDUDF will conduct a public meeting in Mirik on March 30 and also form its women’s and youth wing.
