All the 17 Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) councillors of the Kurseong Municipality and 22 GJM councillors in the Darjeeling Municipality have extended their support to the rebel party faction led by Binay Tamang, its leaders claimed on Sunday.
"These councillors (of Kurseong) have extended their support to us. In the next few days, other leaders will also support the leadership of Binay Tamang," rebel GJM leader Anit Thapa said.
He claimed that the GJM councillors joined the Tamang faction during the party's foundation day programme on Saturday.
