'Friend' Bimal Gurung's Exit from NDA Will Impact Next Year's Bengal Election Results, Says BJP MP John Barla

News 18  

Days after Gorkha Janmukti Morcha leader Bimal Gurung broke his ties with the Bharatiya Janata Party and extended his support to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in the upcoming 2021 West Bengal Assembly Polls, several BJP leaders from the state along with national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya reached New Delhi and held a meeting with Union home minister Amit Shah on Saturday to discuss various issues related to the ‘Rajbonshi’, ‘Gorkhas’ and tea garden workers in the state. Speaking about the impact of Gurung’s exit from the NDA on the BJP ahead of Assembly polls next year, Barla said that six months were still left to the election but he was happy that Gurung, who was absconding for three years, was now back to his home state. Of the 54 assembly seats in North Bengal, Gurung’s support to the BJP since 2009 was considered a big factor in at least 17 Assembly seats including Madarihat and Kalchini in Alipurduar district, Matigara-Naxalbari and Phansidewa in Darjeeling, and Nagrakata in Jalpaiguri among others. Three years later, due to the Bimal Gurung factor, out of the eight Lok Sabha seats of Cooch Behar, Alipurduar, Jalpaiguri, Darjeeling, Raiganj, Balurghat, North Malda and South Malda in North Bengal, Mamata failed to win a single one.
