BJP national president interacts with prominent Gorkha citizens in Siliguri

GANGTOK,: Darjeeling MP Raju Bista on Monday joined BJP national president Nitin Nabin for an interactive session with the prominent Gorkha citizens in Siliguri, Darjeeling.

“On behalf of Darjeeling hills, Terai, and Dooars residents, we warmly welcomed him on his first visit to North Bengal since assuming office in January. Having earlier served as BJP in-charge for Sikkim, he is familiar with our region's strategic importance, and understands our social-political issues,” said the Darjeeling MP.

In an open discussion, Nabin laid out BJPs future plans and objectives, and categorically stated BJP commitment to ensuring justice for the Gorkhas and the people of the region. He said that, "our commitment to justice for the Gorkha community and the people of Darjeeling hills, Terai and Dooars is not dependent on political gain."

I am most grateful to all those who attended today, and extend my heartfelt gratitude to BJP national president Nitin Nabin for such an insightful, frank and honest  discussion of critical issues concerning our region and people, said Bista in a media statement.
