Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
The Jharkhand Party emphasised that the tribes were linguistically, ethnically, and culturally distinct from non-tribal people, necessitating geographical and governmental separation. They were rejected by the State Reorganisation Commission because the diversity of tribal languages is not a criterion for the foundation of a new state in the Jharkhand region.
