RANCHI: Agitated members of the Tribal Advisory Council (TAC) walked out of the meeting after chief minister Arjun Munda, who is also its chairman, allegedly did not take much interest in discussing welfare of the tribal population.

Former state human resource development minister Bandhu Tirkey and Congress legislator Geetashree Oraon who walked out of the meeting alleged that the chief minister was not serious and was misleading the masses.

"We wanted the chairman to discuss the problems faced by tribals at Nagri with their land being acquired by the government for construction of India Institute of Management (IIM) and National University for Study and Research in Law, but he did not allow that to happen. When he realised that the members would not accept his stand, he walked out saying that he will join the meeting once again sometime later. It was not acceptable to us so we walked out," said Tirkey.

He alleged that Munda insisted upon the matter being first brought before TAC in writing to avoid talks. "We have submitted several memorandums to the governor and the state government. Any memorandum on tribal issues addressed to the government automatically comes to TAC. Munda took such a stance to avoid discussion," the leader added.

Sources present in the meeting said that nothing important was taken up for discussion as both the deputy chief ministers Sudesh Kumar Mahato and Hemant Soren were absent.

"The welfare department wanted a discussion on the amendment in Chotangapur Tenancy Act and Santhal Pargana Tenancy Act, but the chairman asked that to be placed before the next meeting of the council," said a source.

On the request of the council and welfare department, the state government has decided to provide Rs 100 crore to clear pending electricity bill of tribal hostels across the state.
