Ranchi, Mar 6 (UNI) Former Jharkhand chief minister and Leader of the Opposition Arjun Munda today said administrative failure was the main reason behind the killing of JMM MP Sunil Mahto.

Talking to reporters here, Mr Munda said the incident also reveals the inefficiency of vigilance department of the state, adding the district administration often becomes non-functional whenever public representatives visit their respective areas.

Mr Mahto alongwith his two body guards and a local JMM leader was killed by the Maoists at Baguria village near Naxalite-affected Ghatshila in East Singhbhum district on March four.

Mr Munda alleged state government was apathetic towards the incident as no senior police official had visited the site of the incident.

Refering to the all party meeting being convened by the Jharkhand government to discuss the naxal problem, Mr Munda said the matter should be discussed seriously.

He reiterated the erstwhile NDA government had a specific strategy to counter the Naxalites.
