They are very much\impressed by the development work done by the state\government. They have never demanded for a separate state and\we will neither accept it,\\" Roy said.\ A few months back, Trinamool had alleged that the BSF was\\\"training\\" \\’Narayani Sena\\’, a private army of the erstwhile\Maharaja of Cooch Behar. The allegation was denied by BSF.\ Asked about the issue of Narayani Sena, Roy said, \\"Those\who were imparted training don\\’t belong to GCPA.
