In August 2021, Ajay Edwards left Subhash Gheesingh’s Gorkha National Liberation Front (GNLF).
Edwards had gone to Delhi in September last year on the instructions of GNLF’s Mon Gheesingh. It was said that it was necessary to establish liaison with various sympathetic parties and the central government to find a permanent solution to the problems in the hilly region. He also met Union Home Minister Amit Shah. After returning from that tour, Edwards had a split with Som.
In November, he announced the formation of the Hamro Party. Darjeeling’s President Robert Chhetri and 32 others followed Edwards.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) last year captured Darjeeling and adjoining Kurseong assembly seats in alliance with local parties, but could not win a single municipal seat. It contested as an ally of the GNLF.
