Accord special status to Jharkhand: Munda
clean media correspondent
   Ranchi, Oct 26 (CMC) Insisting on his request for a special status for Jharkhand, Chief Minister Arjun Munda today urged the Centre to send a team to study the situation.

"Let a Central team assess the state's backwardness, lack of development and other parameters before according special status to Jharkhand," Munda told reporters here.

Stating that he had raised the issue in the just concluded National Development Council meeting, Munda said "there is a need for an elaborate reform in the budgetary allocations to different states."

Arguing for proportionate funding to all states, he said allocation should be made after proper assessment of the situation.

For the past one year Munda has been appealing to the Centre to accord special status to Jharkhand, which would open gates for special financial packages.
