Ranchi: All India Bhojpuri, Maghi, Maithili and Angika Manch on Sunday has expressed resentment over exclusion of their languages in the Jharkhand Teacher's Eligibility Test adding that the state govt should reconsider its decision.

During a meeting held in Ranchi, the manch members said that out of the 17 state recognized languages the govt has included only 12 for the test and ignored Bhojpuri, Maghi, Maithili, Angika and Bhumij, which is wrong.

Chairing the meeting, RJD state general secretary Kailash Yadav claimed that a large section of the state's population is aggrieved due to the language dispute created by the state govt.

Yadav added, "The entire population in Palamu and Garhwa speak Bhojpuri while Angika is spoken in Godda, Sahibganj, Deoghar and other places. Several people in Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Bokaro, Dhanbad, Koderma, Chatra and Hazaribag speak Maghi."
