It was basically to maintain peace. The alliance hasn't been made yet but people have started to get angry. In Kalimpong there were posters and people shouted 'Ab khoon ka khel hoga'. All this should not happen," he said.M said the rally was taken out to spread the message that Gurung cannot do this."You (Gurung) should not create this kind of disharmony.

So, I would like to separate myself from the NDA. I would like to break our relations with BJP. In 2021 Bengal election we'll forge an alliance with TMC and give a reply to BJP," he said.Gurung said his faction of GJM's demand for Gorkhaland still remains, and the party will take this cause forward."It is our aim, our vision. In the 2024 election, we will support the party which will take up this cause," he added.It is important to note that he had been in hiding since 2017, after being charged by the state government under the anti-terror law for incidents in areas in which he held sway.When asked if the state government gave him assurance regarding cases against him, he said, "I'm neither a criminal nor an anti-national. I'm a political leader. I want a political settlement. I was in Delhi earlier and in Jharkhand for the past two months."Gurung had previously been supporting the BJP and had helped it win Darjeeling Lok Sabha seat in the past three general elections.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
