Workers of a tea garden in West Bengal s Jalpaiguri district on Saturday said that they would not cast their votes in the upcoming assembly elections if their demand for a metalled road connecting the garden with National Highway 31 is not met. The tea garden workers under the banners of Trinamool Congress Cha Mazdoor Union , and the Adivasi Vikas Parishad s Sramik Sanghatan marched on the kuchcha road from the New Glencoe tea garden to NH-31, raising the slogan, No road no vote .
The workers said that they have been assured a number of times of a pucca road which never materialised.
