Congress candidates in Bengal are very special
The fight in West Bengal is particularly interesting because despite the opposition parties being part of the India Alliance, Trinamool supremo Mamata Banerjee has fielded candidates on all 42 seats in the state. Munish Tamang, who has been fielded from Darjeeling Lok Sabha seat, is a well-known leader in the hilly areas of North Bengal. National President of Indian Gorkha Confederation, Munish Tamang has been a part of the Gorkhaland movement.
He had joined Congress only four days ago on March 28. After taking membership of the party at the Delhi Congress headquarters, he had said that I have joined the Congress to move forward for India as a whole. For the past many years, our Gorkha community has given time to BJP, but in return our community got nothing but betrayal. He was known as an ally of BJP in this area and now when he is contesting on Congress ticket, he will have a direct fight with the sitting MP Raju Bisht.
