Darjeeling integral part of Bengal says Mamata Banerjee

Gorubathan: Sending out a strong message against bifurcation of the state, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today said Darjeeling is an integral part of it and blamed GJM of trying to play divisive politics



The Trinamool Congress chief took a dig at GJM for supporting BJP candidate S S Ahluwahlia, who she said, is an “outsider”.

“They (GJM) shout too much but when it come to polls they support outsiders. Don't they have single leader among themselves to fight polls?” she said.

“We (Trinamool Congress) have pitted Bhaichung Bhutia, a person from the hills. What is the difference between the hills of Sikkim (from where Bhutia hails) and hills of Darjeeling. All are same,” she said.

Banerjee said she will continue coming to the Darjeeling hills to ensure its development.

“They (GJM) might get angry with me for comming here. But I am not bothered,” she added.
