ANATOMY OF AMBITION – Power-grab attempts behind altruism?

From a purely political perspective, had Hamro Party not contested the 2022 GTA elections, it would have automatically de-legitimized the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration.

In 2026, Anit Thapa has resigned as GTA Chairman, and some Sabhasad of his party BGPM have also resigned. What is interesting to note is that neither Ajoy Edwards or any of Hamro Party (which incidentally do not exist today) sabhasads have bothered to resign from GTA. There is a very good chance that Ajoy Edwards may end up becoming the GTA Chairman, thus fulfilling his long-held ambition of running the GTA (else why bother contesting an election everyone else had boycotted?).
