 | | Mr Naqvi said a decision on Jharkhand Chief Minister was arrived in a consultation process in which the Prime Minister, Mr Atal Behari Vajpayee, the Home Minister, Mr L.K. Advani, the party President, Mr Bangaru Laxman, and other leaders of the party had participated. |
 | | The sources said the Prime Minister was keen to have Mr Munda as the first Jharkhand Chief Minister but Mr Advani was pushing the case of Mr Marandi. |
 | | Mr Munda, who was a Cabinet minister in the 13-day government of Mr Vajpayee in 1996, was obviously hurt as he was not only being denied his rightful claim on the chief ministership of Jharkhand, but also being treated on a par with Mr Marandi who was much junior to him. |
