Darjeeling has been massive which has resulted congestion for which new
tourists spots have to be explored. The places like Lamahatta, Takdah and Delo

Darjeeling, We will be happy if you
are happy. I don’t have time for my party workers and Bengal cannot be happy without Darjeeling.
We want both Darjeeling and Junglemahal to smile" said the Chief Minister.
“I will come for development, not for
political motives” she added clarifying that she has not visited Hills for political
campaigning this time too. In an
obvious reference to her political adversary CPI (M), Banerjee said, "It
is very easy to criticize and politicize, but I have not come here to do
politics. I want Darjeeling to prosper."
