Gurung support rings alarm bells for TMC Trinamul is in alliance with both rival factions of the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha Bimal Gurung’s assertion on his return to Darjeeling that he would win the three hill Assembly seats even if elections were held immediately has come as a fresh poser for new-found ally Trinamul. The Trinamul is in alliance with both rival factions of the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha headed by Gurung and Binay Tamang, and bitterness has escalated with this assertion. Also, within Trinamul, leaders are questioning how the party can accept the support of someone who openly wants a separate state of Gorkhaland to be carved out of Bengal.
