A BJP MP from Jharkhand has slammed the previous BJP-JMM government, terming its two year rule as "absolute zero"
"The previous Arjun Munda government in Jharkhand in coalition with the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) failed to take up a single development work in two years of its rule", Devidhan Besra said.
"Today there is complete anarchy in the state, all the development work and so called schemes are only on paper, you won't find anything on the ground", Besra charged.
No work was done during the BJP-JMM rule, he claimed.
The MP from Rajmahal said, "Lack of coordination" between BJP and its allies particularly the JMM is to be blamed for this.
Accepting that there is a sense of unease and lack of consensus among the party leadership over the issue of forming an alliance with JMM, he said, "It's true that a section of party leadership was grossly unhappy over going with the JMM but the might of the other side prevailed".
"JMM has always been involved in giving unstable governments in the state and finally they did what they are best known for, pulling the rug from under the feet of Munda government," he said.
He also charged the Congress with trying to indirectly rule the state which is under President's Rule.
