BJP's Vision for Darjeeling: Amit Shah's Bold Promises

Amit Shah, addressing a poll rally, promised to resolve the Gorkha issue constitutionally without dividing West Bengal. He criticized the TMC for allegedly supporting a controversial mosque project and pledged to boost agricultural trade and infrastructure in North Bengal, alongside curbing political conflicts and including the Rajbanshi language in the Constitution.

At a recent poll rally in Dakshin Dinajpur's Gangarampur, Union Home Minister Amit Shah asserted that the BJP intends to resolve the Gorkha issue in the Darjeeling hills through constitutional means, without dividing the state of West Bengal.

Shah accused Aam Janata Unnayan Party founder Humayun Kabir of being an operative for TMC leader Mamata Banerjee, alleging Kabir's involvement in constructing a disputed mosque with her approval. He assured that BJP would obstruct its construction.

Furthermore, Shah emphasized BJP's commitment to eliminating political violence and unveiling infrastructural developments including AIIMS, IIM, and eco-tourism hubs in North Bengal. Farmers would benefit from open potato supply chains to other states, ensuring fair economic returns.
