By holding fingers of Kariya Munda learnt to handle the organisation

Khunti: In the tribal heartland of Khunti which is also the birthplace of Bhagwan Birsa Munda and with an eye on huge number of tribal reserved seats going into the polls in the second phase of polls Prime Minister Narendra Modi heaped lots of praise of party veteran and eight time former Khunti MP Kariya Munda during his third election rally of the Jharkhand Vidhan Sabha polls.

Mr Modi upon reaching on the stage greeted all the leaders who were on the dias but he only went ahead and shook hands with former Deputy Speaker Kariya Munda who was also on the stage. Not only that he also held his hand and brought him on the center of the stage to wave to the people after which he got involved in animated talk with him.

Later in his speech, he said that when he was a worker in the BJP looking after the party organisation he had held the fingers of Kariya Munda and learned the way to handle the organisation. “I have spent many years learning from him how to gather the people, how to look towards the villages...and have learned a lot from him and under his vision was working for the development of the state,” Mr Modi said.
