Delhi is insisting to disrupt peaceful situation in Darjeeling – Mamata Banerjee

Delhi is insisting to disrupt peaceful situation in Darjeeling – Mamata Banerjee

I do not understand why Union Government is behaving in a partisan manner by calling 3-4 persons of GTA to Delhi. The call has come from the highest office of a political party. When Darjeeling is peaceful and according to tripartite agreement (of which Union Government is a party) election was held and GTA was formed, and development process is underway, why Delhi is making efforts to kick start fresh agitation to serve vested political interest. It is a matter of shame.
Before last Lok Sabha elections, Telengana was announced by a political party. Why it is now being brought out as an issue just before Lok Sabha election? Telengana cannot be compared with Darjeeling. When everything is settled, why Delhi is insisting to disrupt peaceful situation and play with fire? It is reported that Delhi has directed the GTA persons to go in for a separatist movement.
Darjeeling is a part and parcel of our state. We are united and we will remain united. Any conspiracy hatched by a political party and Union Government will be defeated by the people of Darjeeling and West Bengal.
I'm proud of Darjeeling. Lakhs of tourists are visiting Darjeeling and the tour operators and hotels are flourishing in business with a growth in economy. Darjeeling is smiling. Let me repeat again that we love Darjeeling. We love West Bengal and we love our country. We will not allow anybody to divide and rule.
