Will resolve Gurkha issues as a priority once BJP comes to power in West Bengal, says Amit Shah

Amit Shah, Union Home Minister, stated that the BJP will prioritize resolving issues for Gurkha residents in Darjeeling, including withdrawing all pending police cases against community leaders and workers. He expressed regret over being unable to attend a meeting due to weather conditions but promised to attend a public meeting on April 21st. The BJP has pledged to find a permanent political solution for the Gurkha issue within the Constitution framework, criticizing Mamata Banerjee, the West Bengal Chief Minister, for not participating in tripartite talks with the government of India. The Home Minister also highlighted the importance of the Gurkha community's vote in the upcoming Assembly elections, which could influence the outcome of the region's political landscape.
