Election in Darjeeling district, will witness a straight fight between an aggressive TMC and GNLF alliance and Gorkha Janamukti Morcha (GJM)-BJP alliance.
Tomorrow's election will decide who will rule in the hills which is a stronghold of GJM for last one decade.
GJM has accused TMC of poaching on its leaders and spreading lies and canards against it.
"TMC is trying to undermine the cause of Gorkhaland that we have been fighting for. TMC has been spreading lies and canards about GJM that we have done nothing for the development of the hills. The divisive politics of TMC will not work in the hills," GJM supremo Bimal Gurung has said during election campaign.
State minister Aroop Biswas who is in charge of the hills, has dismissed the GJM's charge.
"The allegations are completely baseless. The fact is GJM has been running a dictatorship in the hills and the people have started revolting against it. The people in the hills have accepted Mamata Banerjee as their undisputed leader and that is why GJM is levelling those wild allegations," Biswas told
