Former Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi on Sunday urged Bihar
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to pressurise the Centre on according
special category status to Bihar, failing which he should resign.
“Nitish Kumar should raise with the Centre the issue of getting special
category status for Bihar. He should threaten the Central Government on
the issue by giving it an ultimatum of 1-2 months,” Manjhi told
reporters here.
He added that if the Centre did not accede to Nitish’s demand, then he
should resign, Manjhi, who is Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) national
president, said.
Bihar cannot develop unless the state is granted special category
status and the country too cannot make much progress without Bihar’s
development, Manjhi said while stating that even Prime Minister Narendra
Modi is also of the same opinion but he did not do anything concrete on
it.
