2 Gorkha Janmukti Morcha Leaders Join TMC

Former Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) leader Binay Tamang and MLA Rohit Sharma joined Mamata Banerjee's party Trinamool Congress, on December 24. It's said to be a big development ahead of the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) election. Attacking the BJP, Tamang said, ''They've been saying that they support the Gorkhaland demand but haven't done anything towards it.'' The election is expected to be held early next year for the 45-member GTA.
