He said, “What is the stance of the candidates on the issue of Gorkhaland? Merely supporting the agenda is not enough. Until and unless the GTA is scrapped the Gorkhaland agenda cannot be pushed ahead.”

The Darjeeling constituency plays a “key role in resembling all Indian Gorkhas”, said Tamang, adding a Gorkha living anywhere in the nation has the “right to know the answers to these primary questions” from the LS candidates.
