Jharkhand Chief Minister Arjun Munda walking the ramp in designer khadi! It might actually happen with the khadi board here frantically looking for a designer to craft the clothes while waiting for the final yes from the chief minister's office.

The chief minister is more than willing to flaunt khadi to promote the hand spun fabric and sericulture in the state during the 15-day Khadi Mela beginning here Tuesday.

The state khadi board was pleasantly surprised when Munda himself offered to model when they went to invite him to the event.

"When we went to invite the chief minister, he offered to walk on the catwalk if it was needed to promote khadi and sericulture," board chairperson Jaynandu told .

And, while Munda's office hopefully works out the dates, officials are on the hunt for a designer to make the clothes. The plan is to get Munda to model two outfits - one a khadi kurta pyjama and the other a grander, silk sherwani and churidar.

The organisers are hoping to fix Jan 24 as the date because the chief minister is scheduled to be in Dumka for a week from Jan 25.
