Ranchi, Dec. 23 -- Babulal Marandi, the BJP state president and Leader of the Opposition, on Tuesday welcomed the Jharkhand Cabinet's approval of the PESA rules, terming it the outcome of the party's sustained struggle from the streets to the Assembly.
Marandi said the BJP and the NDA had consistently raised the demand for framing the PESA rules and pressed the government at every level to act. He said the party expected the notified rules to be firmly rooted in traditional tribal customs and governance practices, as envisaged under the Constitution.
