Siliguri, 06th December: Gorkha Janmukti Morcha supporters are eagerly waiting for party President Bimal Gurung despite the programme running over 4 hours late.
It is to be noted, Gorkha Janmukti Morcha founder leader Bimal Gurung will be arriving in Siliguri from Kolkata today. A mega meeting has been organized at Indira Gandhi Maidan on behalf of the Bimal faction GJM to welcome Gurung along with party workers who also went into hiding with him after the 2017 Gorkhaland agitation.
Meanwhile, Gurung and his supporters who left Kolkata by train on Saturday night were scheduled to reach Siliguri by 8 am on Sunday. However, due to the railway blockade this morning, the team got down from the train in Azamnagar and left for Siliguri by road.
To boost the morale of his supporters, Bimal Gurung released an audio clip urging all to wait for him. He informed that his train was delayed due to an unforeseen agitation on the way and that he is now coming by road. The said audio clip was played at the meeting.
