BJP, which has won Darjeeling LS seat since 2009 with nominees from outside the hills, would need a local face to counter Binay Tamang, who could be Cong candidate in 2024
This is the third political party which Tamang joined in the past few years. Initially, he was with the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha led by Bimal Gurung. After the 2017 Gorkhaland agitation, Tamang, along with Anit Thapa, walked out of Gurung’s camp and floated another faction of the Morcha
