Tilak Chand Roka, a well-known face in Darjeeling politics who had joined the BJP early this year, switched sides to the Anit Thapa-headed faction of the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha on Sunday and asserted that the hills had given “everything possible” to the saffron party and it was time for the BJP to honour its commitment.
Roka’s statement comes close on the heels of a similar remark by Ajoy Edwards, a leader of the GNLF which is an ally of the BJP. “The party even handed over the Darjeeling (Assembly) seat to them. It is time for the BJP to deliver and even Darjeeling MP Raju Bista is aware of the deliverance quotient,” Edwards had said.
Tamang resigned as the president and primary member of the Morcha faction on July 15.
“Please don’t not tell people that I have lost my mind and that I have gone into depression,” wrote Tamang, inviting Thapa’s supporters to visit villagers at Dali, his native place, to find out the truth. “After resigning, I have been lying low but I have never imagined that one would stoop so low politically just to draw supporters,” said Tamang.
Tamang’s Facebook post was a matter of much talk in the hills given the personal nature of the revelations put out on social media.
