Munda ignores MPs from state to discuss backlog projects: Rebello

Ranchi, Sep 3 (UNI) AICC secretary Mebel Rebello today charged Jharkhand Chief Minister Arjun Munda with not cooperating with the MPs from the state to discuss various developmental projects prior to every parliamentarian session.

''Since I became the Rajya Sabha member from the state two years back, the Chief Minister has never held meetings with the MPs to discuss on pending projects so that the representatives could effectively place them in the House and bring them to the Centre's attention,'' Ms Rebello told newsmen here.

''I was MP earlier also and in other states and the Chief Minister generally holds meetings with the MPs to tell them the latest positions of various pending proposals,'' she said.

But Mr Munda never held such meetings except the recently concluded ones in which he sent two letters-- one on National Highway and other on primitive tribal population, the Rajya Sabha member said.

She regretted that Mr Munda was 'ignoring' the MPs from the state and depriving the people smooth implementation of developmental projects.
