Gorkha Jan Mukti Morcha (GJMM) leader Binoy Tamang today labelled Morcha leader Bimal Gurung as a man with “double standards.” According to him, while Mr Gurung claimed he did not express his desire to hold talks with chief minister Mamata Banerjee, in reality, he did make such statements.

“Bimal Gurung’s lies have come out in the open, as he claimed two days back that he did not make statements saying that he is willing to talk to the state government. He maintained that the newspapers published false reports.

However, we have a video of the statement he gave to the Press in Delhi that day (11 January), and where he has said that he was ready to talk with the state government for the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration since long,” Mr Tamang said in the statement he released late in the evening.

“To a question thrown at him by the media on whether he was willing to sit for a meeting with the state government for a solution to the Hill problems, he has replied that he is ready since long and that useless displays will not bring in a solution.

He has also said that it is only dialogues that can solve problems. He has further said that the GTA was formed by the Centre, state and the Hill leaders, and whatever problems that arise must be solved by talks among the three parties,” Mr Tamang added.

The release further gave instances of Mr Gurung being “double-faced, which was also seen previously where he has betrayed the people.”

“This way, Gurung has not worked for the benefit of the people, but only tried to save his chair and himself. It is not only the common people that he is fooling, but he has also been fooling the people in his own camp, as very recently, a statement was issued by a youth leader saying that Gurung had not made any statement regarding his wish to hold dialogue with the state government, Mr Tamang said.
