Commenting
on this regard, the Central Communist Part of Revolutionary Marxist (CPRM) Vice
President, Taramani Rai alleged that the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) has done
the demarcation looking at the political gains rather than Administrative
convenience. If the Morcha was giving priority to the Administration then it
would have first consulted and taken the view points of all the other parties
in the hills and would make a draft listing the complaints and suggestions
given to it. Instead, the Morcha hurriedly released the notice of demarcation
of 45 Constituencies without consulting anybody, complained Rai. He also charged
that the Constituencies have been demarcated after taking into account the
personal needs of the politicians under each Constituency.
Giving
the example of the rift among the Highway Block Committee and the recent
suspension order of the Gorkha Janmukti Yuva Morcha (GJYM) Executive member,
Bishal Rai by the GJM, Rai blamed that the Morcha is finding ways to oppress
those who are voicing against the demarcation. Likewise, the Central CPRM Vice
President adding that people are protesting against the demarcation mentioned,
that remonstrance is at its peak at Gorubathan. Rai, recommended the Morcha to
see above political gains and instead respect the wishes of the people.
“The
Morcha Chief, who once used to repeatedly state that GTA elections shall not be
conducted without Terai- Dooars inclusion is now saying that the elections
shall happen only in the Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council (DGHC) area”, asserted
Rai. Further, he notified that GTA laws have been made under which it is
clearly mentioned that there is administrative arrangement for the allocated 45
seats. Since the seats have been allocated in the hills, now does the High
Power Committee report hold any meaning? And from where will the seats be
increased or added if the report is for the Terai Dooars inclusion? Questioned
the anxious politician.
Tagging
the High Power Committee’s report as ‘Match Fixing’, Rai again alleged that the
Morcha’s statement about the High Power Committee’s report to be the ultimate
decision and both the Morcha and the State needs to abide by it, proves that
the decision has already been fixed.Stating that the Gurung’s GTA is no less
that Ghising’s DGHC, Rai asserted that it’s high time that the public needs to
voice against it.
Lastly,
informing that the Morcha Chief is expending huge amount of money at Cedars for
its development, he said that CPRM had complained about this activity to the
District Magistrate (DM). But now the GJM President is threatening the CPRM
Party workers, he added. “Neither is he the MLA nor the Councilor of that area
still he has been distributing money and tin sheets to the public there”,
concluded Rai.
