On the same lines, the MM Terai unit of the GJM today held a party meeting in the area that was presided over by unit president Bharat Rai in the presence of GJM central committee member Santosh Rasaily. They stressed on supporting the BJP candidate to preserve the identity of the Gorkha community in the country by forming a separate Gorkha state (Gorkhaland).
The leaders also urged the people to refrain from falling prey to false assurances and promises by other parties and to support the GJM-backed candidate to make their dream come true.
Rasaily said he is confident about the BJP forming government at the centre this time and the people of the hills should take advantage if this were to happen.
The meeting was also addressed by unit chairman Rakesh Shrestha, trade union leader Harihar Acharya and Nari Morcha leader Pema Lhamu Rai.
