The Left has to be driven out
Tej Kumar Toppo is the state general secretary of Akhil Bhartiya Adivasi Vikash Parishad, an all India social welfare organisation that has influence over a large section of tribal voters in North Bengal, particularly the Terai region of Darjeeling and the Dooars of Jalpaiguri districts. But wouldn’t your alliance with KPP help the CPI, as other ethnic outfits like Gorkha Janmukti Morcha and Progressive People’s Party have forged a separate alliance against the CPI? Special status under Sixth Schedule of the Constitution for the Terai and Dooars, a separate ministry to look into problems of the tea industry, land rights for tea garden workers, establishment of Hindi-medium colleges, implementation of the Prevention of SC and ST Atrocity Act 1989 and hike in wages of tea garden workers. The Adivasi youths are not even considered suitable for jobs of peons, sweepers and clerks in state- run North Bengal State Transport Corporation.
