GJM’s Binoy Tamang, Anit Thapa to meet Mamata Banerjee: What could it mean for TMC, BJP and West Bengal polls?

Hindustan Times  

Amid growing discontent in the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha faction led by Binoy Tamang, after Bimal Gurung resurfaced last week and pledged support to the Trinamool Congress, West Bengal’s chief minister Mamata Banerjee is likely to meet Binoy Tamang and Gorkha Territorial Administration chairperson Anit Thapa on Tuesday. Making his first public appearance in three years, GJM leader Bimal Gurung broke ties with the National Democratic Alliance and said that the BJP had not fulfilled its promise of Gorkhaland; thereby extending his party’s support to the TMC for the 2021 West Bengal assembly elections due next year. But after the Gorkhaland demand agitation in 2017, GJM broke into two factions — one headed by Binoy Tamang that supported the TMC, and the other led by Bimal Gurung which supported the BJP. This is why Mamata Banerjee has welcomed Bimal Gurung which has irked the Tamang-led faction of the GJM as it has always supported the TMC.
