Bihar CM Nitish Kumar says ‘Special status to backward states if non-BJP parties form govt at Centre’
Last month, Nitish Kumar had parted his ways from the BJP and had formed a new government in the state with the support from Tejashwi Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Congress.
New Delhi: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today said if non-BJP parties form the government at the centre after the 2024 general election then all backward states in the country will be granted special status.
Two days back, political strategist Prashant Kishor had met Nitish Kumar and he had said that if CM provides 10 lakh jobs in a year then he will think of joining him or the alliance in Bihar.
This announcement comes days after CM Nitish Kumar’s visit to Delhi. During his recent visit, he met several leaders of the Opposition parties so that he can bring them together (Unite) to take on the BJP’s election machinery in the next general election.
Last month, Nitish Kumar had parted his ways from the BJP and had formed a new government in the state with the support from Tejashwi Yadav’s Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Congress.
They have been demanding special status since 2007.
