DARJEELING: The bonhomie is souring. Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) is upset with the state government's neglect of the Hills, just over a month after the 'historic' tripartite agreement that was supposed to end the agitation in Darjeeling.
Party chief Bimal Gurung warned on Sunday that the Morcha would relaunch the Gorkhaland agitation. The Morcha is losing patience with the state government for the delay in sanctioning funds for development work, said Gurung.
"The CM tells us 'Darjeeling ke liye jaldi-jaldi kam kijiye', but how can we work without funds?" Gurung asked.
"When we signed the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) agreement last month, home minister P Chidambaram asked us to work towards developing the Hills.
But the state government is not helping us with funds. We will be left with no option but to renew our agitation for Gorkhaland," he said at a memorial programme for former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
