What does the root of a growing tree look like?
A.Chettri, Kalimpong, WB.
Many political leaders have been born in the world today. Many leaders promise that if you vote for me, I will do the work if I win, but there are probably very few leaders in the world who first show the work and then tell the people that such work should be done. However, the evidence is clear before us that many leaders of the world come from poor families. Before becoming a leader, it is not enough to show work, he also had to have people, money and a mind. I’m not saying that money is important, but I’m talking about how he uses it.
Another thing, You will understand how much he loves people and how much he loves working with them. Without mentioning names, there are many evidence in the world that a poor person has made the country rich by becoming a leader. Many things are changing rapidly today. Similar changes are also emerging in Darjeeling, a small but diamond-like piece of India.
One such person who has come down with the determination to put people first, not family and relatives, is Ajoy Edwards. Ajoy Edwards has been a person who has a desire and aspiration for social work since childhood. He has now become a popular leader in Darjeeling. Ajoy Edwards is known as the only person in Darjeeling who has shown work even before becoming a leader. The entire people of Darjeeling and Kalimpong have started to recognize him as a ray of hope that will lead the hills towards development. He has been successful in building big bridges and roads with his own expenses and helping by public. There were many obstacles and oppositions when he started building bridges and roads.
Facing all those obstacles, he stood up for the people in his construction work and In the end, we see him triumph.
Ajoy Edwards launched a political party called “Hamro Party” in 2021. In the 2022 Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) elections, he won eight Sabhasad seats. And Also “Hamro Party” won the 2022 Darjeeling Municipal Corporation elections. Edwards then dissolved “Hamro Party” towards the end of 2024 and formed the “Indian Gorkha Janshakti Front” (IGJF). The party is now officially known as the “Indian Gorkha Janshakti Front” (IGJF). Ajoy Edwards has become a well-known figure in West Bengal politics.
Edwards is the founder and president of the regional political party “Indian Gorkha Janshakti Front” (IGJF). Edwards is in local government and advocates for development in the Darjeeling hills. Edwards has been at the forefront of building bridges in Darjeeling, also building roads, new homes and educating children. Ajoy Edwards’ working style and speech are important and commendable.
2026 has already begun, this year the West Bengal Assembly Elections are going to be held, now what will be his strategy and campaigning style, it remains to be seen. The “Indian Gorkha Janshakti Front” (IGJF), the result of this Bengal election will shape the future. If they are not strong in terms of votes in the Bengal elections to be held in the next few months, then they may be weak in the G. T. A. elections as well. Let’s see the entire power of Ajoy Edwards and his party within this shawl. What does the root of a growing tree look like?
