The government should come out with a blue print covering all aspect in this regard, he said admitting that it is a long exercise needed to be done.

Asked about his partys possible tie up with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejeriwal led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the next election in the state, Marandi said JVM was ready to join hands with any like-minded parties in the interest of the people of the state.

On completion of three-year's of Raghubar Das government, he said, Das should should highlight at least three achievements it had achieved in the interest of the state and its people during his tenure but there are at least "13 achievements", which people will never forget as it all went "against" their interest.

Marandi alleged that corruption was taking place amidst tall claim of "zero tolerance" on corruption made by the Prime Minister as well as the Chief Minister.
