Ranchi: Former Lok Sabha Deputy Speaker and eight-time Lok Sabha member, Kariya Munda, said on Sunday that he will return to farming after the BJP denied him ticket to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Jharkhand. In the list of BJP candidates, Kariya Munda has been replaced by former CM Arjun Munda. Kariya was first elected to the Lok Sabha in 1977.

He became Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha in 2009. “I went to Lok Sabha from farming. I will return to farming. I was in politics to serve the people, not due to any vested interests.

God has given me so many things,” an upset Munda said. The name of Kariya Munda, who is widely respected in Jharkhand, was floated for Chief Ministership when Jharkhand was carved out from Bihar in 2000.
