“WE ARE IN FAVOUR OF FORMING SEPARATE STATE COMBINING DARJEELING, JALPAIGURI, COOCH BEHAR, ALIPURDUAR, MALDA”
In a shocking statement, the West Bengal State Secretary Shri Rabindranarayan Chowdhury yesterday said that BJP was in favour of creating a separate North Bengal state.
Speaking at a program organized by the Darjeeling District Committee at GDNS, Mr. Chowdhury said that “creating a separate state from one district alone is very difficult, there are multiple demands for separate state in this region, there is demand for Gorkhaland, then there is demand for a separate sate in Cooch Behar and Alipurduar… such demands cannot be fulfilled… however if we can combine Darjeeling, Alipurduar, Jalpaiguri and Cooch Behar, right up to Malda then the possibility of forming a separate statehood is vey high… this is what BJP has envisioned…”
He added, “But for forming a separate state which combines these districts, we need support from the people here…. We are in favour of forming smaller states as they promote development”
He urged the people to join BJP and support the party so that they can emerge victorious in upcoming 2016 elections.
