The Gorkha National Liberation Front (GNLF) is in a tight spot after one party activist Mahendra Chhetri met the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in Delhi yesterday as a general secretary of the party on the issue of the sixth schedule status for Darjeeling Hills.
The meeting between hill leaders and Rahul assumes significance as the BJP has not been able to fulfill its twin promises of 2019 to find a permanent political solution (PPS) for the region and grant tribal status to 11 hill parties
B.P. Sharma (Bajgain), BJP Kurseong MLA, in a Facebook post on Tuesday hit out at his Darjeeling counterpart Neeraj Zimba without naming him, for trying to push Sixth Schedule status in the Darjeeling hills
