Hazaribagh, May 7 (UNI) Advocating mid-term Assembly poll in Jharkhand, CPI state secretary Bhuneshwar Mehta today said he along with other Parliamentarians from the state would meet UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and NDA leaders in this regard.

Talking to reporters here, Mr Mehta, an MP from Hazaribagh, said he along with other MPs would meet the UPA and NDA leaders on May a and discuss the issue.

Mr Mehta alleged that the law and order situation had deteriorated and police officials were involved in coal and iron ore theft throughout the state, saying the UPA-backed Koda government had no right to exist as it had ''failed to check-corruption'' in the state.
