GJM Kalimpong MLA Harka Bahadur launches new party JAP

Kalimpong, Jan 27 (UNI) Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) legislator from Kalimpong Harka Bahadur Chettri today severed his ties with the GJM and launched Jan Andolan Party (JAP) aiming to contest the assembly elections slated to be held in April or May.
A new party in the hills meant a huge blow to the leadership of Bimal Gurung among the ethnic people of Darjeeling.
Dr Chettri, who was very critical of GJM supremo Bimal Gurung for the past one year, announced the launching of the JAP at a rally here today and indirectly said there are chances of political alliances with the ruling Trinamool Congress.
