Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said that after coming to power in West Bengal the BJP will bring a political solution to the Gorkha problem and protect Gorkha and Nepalis.
Addressing a public meeting here, Shah said, “The three Darjeeling seats are very important for the BJP. On one side, there will be a victory on 197 seats and on the other side, three from this Darjeeling region. Gorkhas need to be brought to the mainstream. Gorkha and Nepalis will be protected by BJP. They have always sacrificed themselves for the nation.”
“In 1986-88, Communists flamed fires on the hills and shot and killed over 1,200 Gorkhas. We have not forgotten that. Didi has continued the trend in the last 10 years. Our Constitution has the solution to every problem. The double-engine BJP government will bring a political solution to the Gorkha problem after forming the government in Bengal. You will not have to revolt,” the Union Home Minister appealed to the people.
He further accused the successive state governments of West Bengal of halting Darjeeling’s development. “Darjeeling is one of the most beautiful cities in India and is one of the oldest established cities in India. In 1897 it received the first electric connection in India. India’s second oldest municipality was built here in 1850. Darjeeling has played a great role in the independence of the country. After independence, the Congress, then the Communist and now Didi, put a full stop to the development of Darjeeling,” he said.
