New Delhi, Aug 05: In an attempt to give a fillip to
development projects in Jharkhand, Chief Minister Arjun Munda
tonight reviewed the ongoing schemes at a meeting convened by him and attended by his cabinet colleagues and Union Ministers and MPs from the state.
The meeting was held after Munda met Prime Minister Atal
Bihari Vajpayee and Union Ministers Murli Manohar Joshi,
Sushma Swaraj and Jagmohan earlier in the day.
Asked about the purpose of holding the meeting outside
the state, Munda told reporters that since Parliament was in
session all the central ministers and MPs from the state were
available only in Delhi. That is why he asked his cabinet
colleagues to come over to Delhi to examine the projects
threadbare and get them expedited, he said.
To a question, Munda said that during his meeting with
Vajpayee he invited the Prime Minister to Ranchi to attend a
function to mark the third anniversary of Jharkhand on
November 15. During his courtesy call on President A P J
Abdul Kalam yesterday, he had also invited him to visit the
state.
Munda has asked his cabinet colleagues to utilise their stay in Delhi by meeting their respective Union Ministers and taking up with them pending projects so that they can be cleared as early as possible for speedy development of the state. Bureau Report
