Kudos to our hardworking MP Raju Bista
Darjeeling has one of the most hardworking MPs. Yesterday he accompanied the mortal remains of Hav Satpal Rai who was martyred in the helicopter crash on the 8th of Dec. Earlier today, he was in Tukdah T.E to attend his funeral. Located away from main road, Tukdah T.E is difficult to reach due to bad roads. After returning to Delhi, it turns out he went straight to the Parliament and highlighted the absymal condition of roads in our region.
Only someone driven by their love for our community and people can work so hard.
More power to you!
The Unwavering Gorkha Leader
We acknowledge the real efforts of - Himalayan Forest Villagers Organization and Darjeeling MP Raju Bista.
Ever since his election, MP Bista has raised non-implementation of FRA 2006 in Darjeeling and Kalimpong Districts by the WB Govt in the Parliament.
He had finally raised this issue under Rule 377 of the Parliament, compelling thr Ministry of Tribal Affairs to take action.
West Bengal government is not doing our people any favour or charity in extending an Act of the Parliament in our region, after denying our people their rights for 15 years. They were compelled to implement it, after Parliamentary Compulsion enforced by our elected MP Raju Bista.
More power to you.
