JDU Leaders’ Special Status Demands for Bihar: Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi Responds…

Jitan Ram Manjhi recently stated that the Central government has assured Bihar of financial assistance. He mentioned that the NITI Aayog has denied special status to any state in the country, emphasizing that no state will be granted special status despite the efforts of politicians.

Despite this, Manjhi expressed confidence that the central government, along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will provide the necessary financial support for Bihar’s development. Since the NDA government took office, leaders of the JD-U have been advocating for special status for Bihar.

Figures such as Water Resource Minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary and Building Construction Minister Ashok Choudhary have been vocal in their demands. However, opposition leaders such as RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav and Congress leader Meira Kumar have criticized the JD-U for seeking special status from the BJP, especially since they are part of the NDA government.
