PATNA: Though CM Nitish Kumar on Tuesday hailed the Union government for presenting a ‘balanced budget’ despite the covid-19 induced adverse situation, his party JD(U) is extremely disappointed over no provision for the grant of special category status to Bihar in the Union budget.
“Union budget is historic for the developed states, but it is disappointing for Bihar. Union Finance Minister @nsitharaman has disappointed all residents of Bihar by ignoring the demand to grant special category status to the state,” JD(U)’s national parliamentary board chairman and former Union minister Upendra Kushwaha tweeted in Hindi soon after the Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman finished her budget speech in the Lok Sabha.
