Anit Thapa, the current Vice-Chairman GTA, Board of Administrators has issued a press release lambasting BJP or letting down the Gorkhas. Anit Thapa has further accused PM Narendra Modi of Lying to the Gorkhas. Anit Thapa has further said, Gorkhas will give Modi and BJP a befitting reply in 2019.
Here is the full press release:

PM Modi delivered his speech in Siliguri on April 2014 and one famous line of his speech among the Gorkhas was – “Gorkha ka Sapna, Mera Sapna”. This assurance had indeed made Gorkhas believe that this person if elected to the highest office would definitely fulfil the only dream of Gorkhas- a Gorkha state but sadly this is the biggest mistake that the Gorkhas have made and we have to give a befitting reply to the BJP in the upcoming elections.
