Jamshedpur : Former Chief Minister Arjun Munda, has said that Congress and JMM have sold Jharkhand movement from time to time for their personal benefits.
The leader of the opposition also accused the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) of failing in its governance for the past 14 months. Munda demanded where were its issues (that led it to pull out from Munda’s government) and why the JMM and the Congress were fighting against each other despite being coalition partners.
“This government has failed in its fourteen months of rule,” he alleged. Seeking to know what the Hemant Soren government achieved during the period, Munda alleged both the Congress and the JMM misled the people in the name of secularism. “JMM says BJP will change CNT/SPT Acts.
It is this government which tried to mortgage tribal land,” Munda said while dismissing JMM’s charges. He added the BJP functions as per its manifesto, referring to the document not mentioning Chhota Nagpur Tenancy Act and Santhal Pargana Tenancy Act. The acts protect tribal land in Jharkhand.
Criticising RJD chief Lalu Prasad’s statements on development during his electioneering, Munda said the former Bihar chief minister did not have the right to speak on development.
