evidence: "Narendra Modi in 2014 during the polls visited the foothills of Darjeeling and promised so many things. Again in 2016 when Assembly polls for West Bengal were being held, Mr Modi came. He addressed meetings and promised tribal status to 11 communities of Gorkhas. None of these promises was fulfilled during his tenure. The resentment is very high because of unkept promises," says Tamang. [...] Darjeeling constituency is not just the hills. There’s also the Darjeeling foothills, known as the Darjeeling Terai, and the Dooars, an adjoining plains area that is the gateway to the mountains. The biggest city in North Bengal, Siliguri, a city of 7 lakh people, is down there. It is a bustling town with large populations of people from the neighbouring hills and plains. Its multicultural character includes Nepali speakers from the hills, Bengalis from the plains, and Biharis from the neighbouring state. There are also Rajbongshis, who have their own statehood movement for a Kamtapur state that would include parts of North Bengal and adjoining Assam. [...] The poll story this election season in Darjeeling has already seen more twists and turns than the winding road that runs up the hill from Siliguri. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to hold a rally in Siliguri today. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will be ascending to Darjeeling again on April 10.
