The Gorkha Sarbajanik Party (GSP) has called for the scrapping of the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration and urged all elected Sabhasads to step down, intensifying political pressure in the Darjeeling hills.
The Gorkha Sarbajanik Party (GSP) issued a formal statement demanding the immediate dissolution of the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA). The party argues that the GTA has failed to address core issues of the hill community and calls for its complete scrapping.
In addition to the GTA demand, GSP has urged all elected Sabhasads to resign from their posts, alleging that they have not represented the aspirations of the Gorkha populace. The party said that fresh elections under a new administrative framework are essential for genuine development.
The demand comes amid growing discontent in the Darjeeling hills over perceived neglect and stalled infrastructure projects. State officials have not yet responded to the GSP's call, and the issue is expected to dominate upcoming political discussions in West Bengal.
Political analysts note that the GSP's stance could reshape the region's power dynamics, potentially prompting negotiations between the state government and hill parties. The next steps will depend on how the West Bengal administration addresses the party's demands.
The GSP has pledged to continue its agitation through peaceful rallies and public meetings, emphasizing that the GTA's removal and Sabhasads' resignation are non‑negotiable prerequisites for any future settlement.
