She said that this region of undivided Bihar was created following underdevelopment since Independence.
Mayawati claimed that it was her party which had demanded a special category state status for Jharkhand in Parliament, but it was not taken note of by parties ruling at the Centre or the state.
"Several parties have governed Jharkhand. You have experienced their work. Now give a chance to BSP and see what it does for you," she said, adding don't get swayed by the election manifestos of political parties, who try to lure you with promises.
