`No mid-term elections'

The Government would complete full term, asserts Munda

JAMSHEDPUR: Jharkhand Chief Minister Arjun Munda today ruled out any possibility of mid-term polls and asserted that the government would complete its full term in the state.

Talking to newspersons here before his departure to Ranchi, Mr Munda said the Opposition parties were airing such "misleading'' statements out of frustration.

``They should talk about the development of the state instead of levelling baseless allegations on the NDA government,'' Mr Munda said.

He alleged that the Opposition was trying to impose President's rule in Jharkhand, but added that they would not succeed in doing so.

Regarding allegations that Congress leader Thomas Hansda helped NDA leaders rope in some independent legislators using ``corrupt and undemocratic methods'' during the formation of government, Mr Munda said, ``We have nothing to do with the incident as it is their internal problem. We have not accepted any aid from Hansda in connection with formation of the government.''

About the ongoing investment in the state by global players, the Chief Minister said the investments would continue and the government would give preference to those investors, who would help the state to become industrially developed.

He said the government would review the progress of work of the investors every month.
