Marandi said that as Jharkhands first chief minister, he had enacted the domicile policy as notified by the Bihar government in 1982 and the Raghubar Das government of BJP implemented a cut-off date of 1985 to set the dispute over local residents to rest. But the JMM-led government wants to reformulate the domicile policy once again.

While theJMMlegislators are crying hoarse to implement the 1932 khatiyan-based local policy, the CM said in the House that the government is studying the matter. Actually the government itself is confused and it is yet to come out with a clear cut policy, he claimed.
