In a press release, Dr. Harka Bahadur yesterday alleged that “the construction of a Polytechnic college at Kalimpong was stopped as Roshan Giri had demanded a 15% commission from the company that had landed the project to build the college.”
In the release Dr. Harka has said that, “this was revealed when I questioned the Technical Education Minister Ujjwal Biswas in the Bidhan Sabha on the status of the promised Polytechnic college for Kalimpong, who responded that the construction was supposed to be undertaken by a government agency and Rs 24 crores had been sanctioned for the same… however Morcha demanded 15% of the funds sanctioned as commission, because of which the work has not been started, as the company is fearful to enter the hills, and they have said that they cannot complete the work.”
Reacting strongly to the allegations, GJM Leader Mr. Roshan Giri said, “it is completely baseless and fabricated issue, I am not even aware of such a project, let alone which company is constructing it… Harka is conspiring with the Bengal government to malign our image, and we won’t tolerate this… this is not just an attack on me, but on GTA… we will consult with our lawyers and file a defamation case against him and if necessary the Minister.”
